CLASSROOM PROCEDURES:

 

      We come into class using our inside voice and immediately begin bell-ringer activity.

      We listen when others are speaking; do not interrupt or disrespect others’ opinions.

      We follow directions quickly and think before we speak (check with a partner before asking me).

      We remain seated until the tardy bell rings.
