Classroom Procedures
2
Lining Up

• All students will line up against the lockers
  with their left shoulders touching the lockers.
  The line is not a place for horseplay or talking.
  Getting in quickly means more time to finish
  assignments so you wont have homework.

3
Entering the Room

• Enter quietly and go directly to your own seat
  and get out your materials for class. We will
  keep our binders in this room and they will be
  passed out to you each day.

Bell Ringer

• First 10-15 minutes of EVERY class Open your
  planner and copy down the agenda for the day
  from the board. Any homework or upcoming tests,
  quizzes or papers will also be listed here.

• Next, you will copy down the lexicon word for the
  day. You copy the word, copy down the definition
  from the dictionary, including the part of
  speech and origin of the word. You will also use
  the word in a sentence. Be sure to put a date by
  each bell ringer entry. You will need it for my
  notebook quizzes.

• Finally, you will copy down the D.O.L. sentence
  as written on the Smartboard and then make
  corrections using proofreading marks.
• AGAIN, make sure you have put a date by each of
  your daily bell ringer assignments.

• Once these are finished, we will go over the
  lexicon as a class. I will ask for a volunteer
  to come to the front and work the D.O.L.
  sentence. That student may call on others for
  help. Students will address each other by name
  and speak in complete sentences.

8
Electronic Devices

• Electronic devices will be used on occasion for
  educational purposes. You should only have your
  device out and on if you have been directed by
  the teacher to do so. Having your device out at
  any other time will be grounds for disciplinary
  action. Using your device for inappropriate or
  non-educational uses will also be grounds for
  disciplinary action.

• Cell phones are NOT required for this class. You
  are able to participate in all activities without
  having a cell phone. Using cell phones for class
  poll questions and activities is a privilege that
  can be revoked if needed.

  pencils are recommended.

  at my discretion. If you need a pass, please do
  not ask in the middle of the lesson. Wait until a
  time when the class is working on an assignment.

  trash will be picked up in your area before you
  are allowed to leave.
