Sharpening Pencils Sharpen pencils at the beginning of class, not during instruction. If a sharpened pencil is needed during instruction, use the silent signal (raise hand with pencil and wave it a little) and wait for teacher to respond. Replace dull pencil with a sharpened pencil in the pencil basket on the counter. Always be prepared, have back up pencils ready. You may use a portable pencil sharpener at your table as needed. Colored pencils must be sharpened with a portable pencil sharpener.

Restroom/Water Breaks Morning, Lunch, and Afternoon recesses are for drinks and restroom breaks. If an emergency, give teacher the “silent signal” – For restroom break (Raise hand with crossed fingers), wait for teacher’s response. Do not ask to use the restroom during instruction time if it is not an emergency. Independent worktime is the best time to go if needed, one boy and one girl at a time.

There is no break during instruction time for water (you may bring your own water bottle to hydrate during class time, otherwise wait for recess or when teacher gives permission.
