PROCEDURES
Why
do we have procedures? Procedures are a part of life that show us how to
do things. To do things right, we have to follow some simple procedures. For
example: To place a call on your phone, you need to enter the number in the
right order. When you go to a wedding, you give the couple a red envelope. To
board an airplane, you need to go through security, show your passport, and sit
in your assigned seat. So, to be successful in learning you need to follow some
simple procedures as well. These
will help things to run smoothly.
1. Morning Routine
Quietly
walk into the classroom and say good morning to Miss Fisher.
Empty
backpack and put it away.
Have materials ready for the first class.
Hand in homework before 8:35am into the appropriate bin.
Look to
the board for further instruction.
Begin bellwork
assignment on your own.
If you
finish, you may read silently at your desk.
2. Procedure for Quieting a Class:
When I
want your undivided attention I will tap a bell. When you hear the bell, the
procedure is as follows:
a. Freeze
b. Turn and face me; pay attention;
and keep your eyes on me.
3. Hand Signals
We will
use hand signals to limit the number of interruptions during a lesson. Please
learn the following signals.
Hold
up 3 fingers to DRINK WATER
Hold
up 4 fingers if you need to use the BATHROOM (you may use the bathroom once
during class time. Otherwise, you need to go during break time or at lunch.)
Hold
up 5 fingers if you need to ask a QUESTION
**While
doing your work if you have a question, please ask your classmates for help
first. If they do not know the answer, then you may quietly raise your hand to
ask me a question and I will come to your desk.
***You
must keep a pack of tissues at your
desk. You do not need to ask to use one and when you finish you may quietly
stand up and walk to the garbage can. If you cannot follow this procedure
properly, you will not be allowed to keep tissues at your desk and will have to
wait until break time to use them.
4. What to do when you finish your work early
What Do
I Do Next?
·
ALWAYS check your work and the directions one more
time to see if you missed anything or did something incorrectly. Make sure you
did your best.
·
Work
on homework.
·
Read
silently.
·
Organize
your desk and/or folders.
·
Write
your spelling words 3 times.
·
Do
a word search or crossword.
Study.
*Do
NOT ask Miss Fisher what you can do next. There is always valuable work to be
done. Use your time wisely.
5. What to do when the bell rings
The ring
of the bell does not dismiss you, the teacher does. When the bell rings you may
finish what you were doing, close your books and tidy your desk. Make sure
there is no garbage around your desk. When your desk is clear and you are
sitting nicely and quietly Miss Fisher will dismiss you. You may then exit the
classroom quietly.
6. How to
turn in homework/assignments
All homework and assignments/projects are to be turned in by 8:35 am on the due date. Anything handed in after that time will be considered late and will be marked accordingly.
*If you do not finish your homework/assignment by the deadline you will
miss all of your breaks starting with the next one until the work is completed.
You will be deducted 5% for each day that your work is late.
**If
you were sick or have a valid excuse for not handing in your work on time a
signed note from a parent must be give to the teacher explaining the reason.
7. If you are
absent
If
you are absent it is your own responsibility to get your missed work from the
appropriate folder in the classroom. Ask a classmate what you missed and
complete the work as soon as possible. After asking a classmate for help, if
you still do not understand, you may come and ask Miss Fisher.
8. What to do when
another adult enters the room
When
another adult enters the classroom everyone must say “Good morning/afternoon name.”
For example, “Good morning Sister Jackie. Good afternoon Mr.Hilden.” If the
adult is a visitor whose name you do not know, you may simply say good morning/afternoon.
