A procedure is something we “do”

Procedures are routines, not rules

Why do we have procedures?

Necessary to Each Other

“When we seek connection, we restore the worldto wholeness. Our seemingly separate livesbecome meaningful as we discover how trulynecessary we are to each other.”

-- Margaret Wheatley, American writer and management consultant

How will we learn procedures in this classroom?

Entering the Classroom

Enter classroom silently and walk directly to your assigned seat

I am not available for questions when you first walk into the classroom

First day notice: your class and number are unique to YOU

- This number will make it easier for me to alphabetize and explain where you should be at all times

The Start of Class

Take out math folder

- Place completed HW in the HW tray

- Place folder back in your backpack

Classroom Behavior

I will specify class expectations for each activity, but you should always assume the following:

- When I or a fellow classmate is speaking, you are to be silent and respectful to the speaker

Classroom Behavior

- When the class is taking notes or completing work, you are focused on the task at hand

Questions / comments

- If you have a question, comment, or need my help, simply raise a still hand and I will address your concern ASAP

Pencil ONLY

I will NOT accept work done in pen. You will be asked to redo the assignment in pencil if you complete work in pen

I will NOT accept work done in pen. You will be asked to redo the assignment in pencil if you complete work in pen

- If you do not have access to a pencil at home, let me know and I will make arrangements

Getting Your Attention

If I ever need to gather the entire class’s attention, I will say the following:

“Silent, still, and tracking in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”

What does each “silent”, “still”, and “tracking” mean?

“Silent, still, and tracking in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1”

Everyone should have a folder to transport classwork and homework. We will label the front as follows:

Empathy

Your math folder consists of two pockets. We will label them as follows:

CLASSWORK

CLASSWORK HOMEWORK

Classwork:

- We will complete a packet that includes lesson notes and classwork

- You are responsible for bringing home classwork everyday

- Store classwork packets in a safe, organized manner at home

- Before each assessment (quiz, test, project), I will collect all of the packets [ADD IN REWARD]

Homework:

- Take home a new homework packet everyday (passed out during Exit Ticket)

- Bring completed homework to class the next day to turn in

Dismissing the Class

When I announce “prepare for dismissal”, we will complete the following steps on my count:

1. Make sure your area is neat

2. Stand silently with backpack on and chair pushed in

3. Calmly walk to designate line spot as follows before we exit the classroom

Insert diagram of room. 1-16 will line up East side of room, 17-32 will line

up South side of room.Fronts of lines will meet behind exit

door in Southeast corner.

3. Calmly walk to designate line spot as follows before we exit the classroom

4. Follow line leader outside classroom, creating two straight, parallel lines ready to transition to next class

Insert diagram of room. 1-16 will line up East side of room, 17-32 will line

up South side of room.Fronts of lines will meet behind exit

door in Southeast corner.

Transitions

Since you are already lined up inside the classroom, transitioning to your next class or location should be quite simple!

Transitions

Listen for directions from me or fellow teacher on where we are going

Transitions

I expect that you will pay attention where you are walking

Transitions

Maintain a safe distance (no more or less than 4-8 inches) between you and the backpack of the person in front of you

Transitions

Maintain a safe distance (no more or less than 4-8 inches) between you and the backpack of the person in front of you

Hands to yourselves and calm demeanor when walking through the school and to your next class or activity

Voice level? Ask school policy

Startup

Each day, class will begin with a 5 minute “Startup”

Startup

The assignment, which is the first page of your daily packet, will get your brains working and often relate to the lesson of the day

Startup

Will not be graded, but as with all of your math work this year, I expect that you will put forth your best effort

Startup

The startup is a silent, still activity for you to try on your own (no questions during this time)

When the 5 minute timer is up, flip to Page 3 of your packet to start the lesson with the rest of the class!

Homework & Attendance

Homework is an everyday activity that will help you succeed in math class

Homework is expected to be turned in, neatly headed and completed, at the beginning of each class period

It will count as your attendance for the day

If you do not have your homework assignment completed, you will come in during recess to finish

- We will not discuss why you do not have your homework during class, but we can discuss during recess

- [INSERT PICTURE OF HW REMINDER RED SLIP]

Exit Ticket (1 of 3)

Almost everyday, you will have an Exit Ticket at the end of class

Will be used to assess your understanding of the material that day

These are considered assessments - silent, still activities and eyes are on your own paper

Upon my instruction “prepare for exit ticket”, you should complete the following:

- Take out math folder and place on your desk

- Pull off the front page of the daily packet and leave on desk

- Place rest of packet in your CW side of folder

- Place HW packet in HW side of folder (passed out)

- Place math folder in your backpack

The only thing on your desk should be your Exit Ticket template and a pencil

I will post the questions on the SmartBoard

- Fully head your paper

- Copy down each question

- 3-5 minutes to write down and answer the questions

When complete, check your work, and then turn your paper over

You will turn your Exit Ticket in at the Exit Ticket tray by the door during dismissal

Finishing Work Early

If you finish work early, follow these steps:

- First, check over your work thoroughly and ensure that you have completed each task to the best of your ability

- Raise your hand and remain in your seat

I will come by to check your work

If your work is complete, I will offer one of two options:

- Peer tutoring

If your work is complete, I will offer one of two options:

- Peer tutoring

- Challenge work

Classroom Tardiness

Ask school policy

What to do When Absent

You are responsible for completing the classwork AND homework for days that you are absent

You will have 2 days for every 1 day you are absent to complete the missed work

- E.g., if you are absent Monday, you can turn your work in WednesdayIf you are absent Monday & Tuesday, you can turn the work in Friday

Work will be available in two locations:

- Electronic copies – class website

- Hard copies – class documents binder (each day has it’s own tab)

Competed absent work goes in the “Completed Absent Work” tray

Paper Headings

Every paper should be headed the following way:

Note that most papers you work on will be handouts, and will often provide spaces for the required heading

Bathroom

Strong preference: go before / after school, or during lunch, recess, or in between class breaks

Bathroom

If you must go during class, you are permitted to go only during independent work time, as I do not want you to miss any part of the lesson!

Bathroom

If you need to go to the bathroom, raise your hand and I will let you know if it’s an appropriate time

Classroom Supplies (1 of 3)

I want you to think of this classroom as a sacred & beautiful place to learn

Keeping the classroom neat and organized allows us to make efficient use of class time

We are fortunate to have access to this school, this room, and all of the supplies in it!

I expect that you will respect the supplies in this classroom

You are welcome to use the supplies provided for you in the supply bin at your desk

- Unless otherwise notified, please do not use or take supplies from my desk or elsewhere in the classroom

I will do my best to make sure you have ample sharpened pencils in your table’s supply bin (and anything else you need) everyday

You may use the pencils your table’s supply bin

- If the pencil is dull or breaks, simply take a new one

- If you use a class pencil, drop the pencil off in the “Used Pencil” cup on your way out so I can replenish the supply for the next class:

INSERT PICTURE OF USED PENCIL CUP

You are welcome to use your own pencils in class, but they must be sharpened prior to class

Keeping Desks Orderly

Only necessary work and supplies should be on the table

- All papers filed away in folders

- Only necessary supplies on the desk, otherwise kept in supply bin (or backpack if personal supplies)

No food or drink in class

- A water bottle kept in your backpack is OK – you may drink during class without asking permission as long as it is not distracting

We will wipe desks down at the end of each day (classroom job)
