ListeningIn order to be a good listener

you must follow these steps:

1. Eyes on the speaker2. Mouth silent3. Hands and feet are still

• Raise your hand if you need help or are answering a question.

• Raising your hand means your mouth is silent.

• Waving your hand around does not make me call on you first.

Raising Your Hand to Speak

Pencils

I only sharpen pencils twice a day; once in the morning and then after school.

Sharp pencils will be in the cup labeled Sharp.Dull pencils should be placed in the cup labeled

Dull.Do not put pencils in your mouth, nose, or any

other hole in your body. GROSS!Do not tear off erasers.

Use the “official” sign to get up to get a new pencil.

Pencils are a tool; not a toy.

First make sure you write your name on your paper.

All work should be done neatly and completely.

When finished check to make sure you have followed all directions.

Turn your paper in to your box that has your number on it.

Classwork should be completed in class otherwise it will be sent home for homework.

Getting Out of Your Seat

To get permission to go to the restroom,

hold up 1 finger.

•To get permission to get a sharpened pencil, hold up 2 fingers.

*The only other reason you should be out of your seat is if I have given you permission to do so. For example: calling on you to come to the board or to my desk.**Always WALK in the classroom and hallway.

Standing in a Line

• When we line up at the door you should be in a straight line.

• Your hands are behind your back.

• Your mouth is closed. • Your eyes are looking at

the person’s head in front of you.

Centers

• Always work quietly in centers. Use your whisper voices.

• Keep your hands to yourself.• When you hear the bell, stop what you

are doing and wait quietly for directions.

• Be sure to push chairs in before switching centers.

• Walk to the next center.
