6^th Grade Classroom Procedures

1.       Moment of Silence: NO talking, heads down.  Be respectful of others
2.       Announcements: Be polite, listen carefully, and wait until they are over to ask questions.
3.       Sharpening pencils: Do this as soon as you come into the room, BEFORE class starts.
4.       Instruction time: While teaching is in progress stay seated, pay attention, and participate.  If you need to go to the restroom, re-sharpen a pencil, or throw something away, WAIT until the lesson is finished.  This is polite and shows respect to the teacher and your classmates.
5.       Restrooms: If you have to go after the lesson, only one person at a time may go and you must take the potty pass.  (If an emergency occurs, you may go to the restroom immediately.)  You may only go to the restroom one time per class.  Students will be taken to the restroom as a group before and after lunch.
6.       Work time: You must complete work for my class first.  Then you may work on something for another teacher, read an AR book or take an AR test.
