  21. DAILY PROCEDURES! We have to have these procedures in order to make the classroom a smooth place to learn.

  22. When I need your attention • When I have something to say or I need you to focus back on me. • I will: • Say “if you can hear my voice clap once. If you can hear my voice clap twice.” This means that you stop what you are doing, eyes on me, stop talking, be still, and listen to what I have to say.

  23. Give Me 5 Please • Eyes on speaker • Mouths shut • Be still • Hands Free (put things down) • Listen with your ears

  24. When you get here! • Walk into the the workshop quietly • Set in your assigned seat • Take out your materials • Begin working on bell ringer activity.

  25. If you’re tardy: • Walk into the workshop quietly (not running) • Excused tardy: Place note pouch on the Sea Turtle Info board. • Unexcused tardy: Sign the lunch detention list on the Sea Turtle Info board. Sit in your assigned seat and take out your materials.

  26. If you’re not here! We will miss you! • Go to the Sea Turtle Info board. • Assignments and note are in the While you were out folder. • Sign the sheet in the folder that says you received your make up work. • If you are absent: however many days you were out that is how long you have to make up your work

  27. Bell ringer will be in the same place every day. It will either be on the white board or projected on the screen. You will have everything you need at your desk for these activities. (usually just paper and pencil) You will have around 5 minutes to do this activity at the beginning of class. The bell does not start the workshop YOU start the workshop! What is a Bell ringers and what do I do? A Bell ringer is something you do as soon as you enter the workshop. It is an activity to get us started and focused for the day.

  28. Need something? Use hand signals “I have a comment or a question to make about what we are talking about.” I need to leave my “seat.” (only in emergency during class discussions) “I need help and I have already used my 3 resources.” (3 before me)

  29. If you do not bring your homework or the proper materials to class, you will be pink slipped. • Complete and sign your pink slip and turn it in to the homework tub. • Sign the lunch detention list on the Sea Turtle Info board. Savior clause: You will get 4 late passes to use this semester. Use them wisely.

  30. Homework • Two on going homework assignments. • READ EVERY NIGHT FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. • Reading dialogue journals due on Fridays (more to come later on that!) • Other assignments will be given on a needed basis! • Turn in your homework in the homework basket BEFORE class. (this is when you get your pink slip to!)

  31. EARLY FINISHERS! • Work on 1 hour writing for the week • Read a “choice’ novel. • Review vocabulary words. • Organize your notebooks! • Start on your homework for this class only!

  32. Workshop Discussions • PLEASE participate. • I want to hear what you have to say. • Make questions and comments relevant to the current discussion • If your question is off topic write it on a sticky note and park it at the top of the table until later.

  33. RESTROOM • Use the restroom at your own discretion. • You must ask permission, not in the middle of discussions unless it is an EMERGENCY. • Sign the list on the Sea Turtle Info board. If this is abused we will reevaluate this procedure and make necessary changes.

  34. Good-bye: leaving the workshop • The teacher dismisses you, not the bell. • Do not start packing up before the bell. I will actually instruct you and let you pack up. • Area and table must be clean before leaving. • Wait until the teacher dismisses you with: “HAVE A GREAT DAY!”
