that I need help with (Remember to raise your hand and wait for permission to speak.)

• You may also ask to work on one of the student computers. There will be a 15 minute time limit if there are multiple students wanting to use the computers. (Again, remember to raise your hand and wait for permission to speak.) Computer time will be to complete educational related games or lessons only.

6. After an Excused Absence• Come to me at an appropriate time, such as

independent work time and ask for your make-up work.

This is the student’s responsibility. Students have one day for every day missed to complete and return work.

7. Scheduled Check-Out• Please let me know as you enter the classroom, so I

can make sure you have the assigned work for the day before you leave.

• Pack your materials quietly, when you are called to check out.

• Be sure to write down your assignments in your agenda before your leave.

• Since you are present, the work will be expected the next day as usual.

8. Turning in Paper• Please pass your papers to the front of the row when

requested (you do not need to talk while doing this)• Person at the front of the row will organize papers

according to student numbers and help check for appropriate heading.

• I will come by and collect the papers.• If we are not seated in order of numbers, I may ask

one student to organize papers for me according to number.

9. Classroom Discussions• I use the “Stick Method” for class questioning and

discussions.• When your stick is pulled you will be required to

answer a question or participate in discussion.• You may not respond with: “I didn’t do number so and

so.” or “I don’t know.” I want you to think and respond. • Make all questions and comments relevant to the

current discussion. In other words, “Don’t ask what we are having for lunch in the middle of a intellectual class discussion. PLEASE!!!

10. Moving around the room/leaving the room• I do not require you to ask permission every time you need

to sharpen your pencil or throw something away.• Please use common sense and manors when throwing

something away or sharpening a pencil. Use the trash can nearest to you. Do not walk completely around to the other side of the room to throw something away.

• Obviously, if I am speaking it is NOT a good time. If we are viewing a BrainPop or other educational video, it is NOT a good time. Videos are part of the lesson and I don’t want you to miss important information.

• You may only leave the room to use the restroom or see the nurse only if it is an emergency. Otherwise, you will need to wait until the appropriate time.

11. Class Dismissal• I dismiss class, not the clock, another student, or next

class in the hallway!• Do not start packing up prior to being told. • Wait until I finish and officially dismiss you.
