Students enter the classroom at 8:30 each day.

The students set out their homework and agendas on their desks as soon as

they sit down.

Students begin their day by doing a cursive paper, daily math practice, daily language

review, and reading for AR or taking AR tests.

At 8:45, Mrs. Shaffer takes attendance and lunch count. We stand to show which lunch choice we have chosen.

We all line up so Mrs. Shaffer can check our cursive papers.

It is now time to check our daily math practice and daily language review.

Mrs. Shaffer puts the correct answers on the board. We are allowed to make corrections to our mistakes.

Mrs. Shaffer shows us how to complete our daily math practice paper on the Smart board.

agendas.
