1. Listening & Raising Hand -When teacher is talking, we listen!! -When another student is talking with permission, we listen!! -We listen with our voices off and our eyes on the person who is talking! -We raise our hands to receive permission to talk.

2. Following Directions We listen carefully to all directions given before beginning. If we have any questions we raise our hands to ask. No question is a dumb question! If we have a question while working we raise our hand again for the teacher to come to you or call you to her desk.

3. Using study periods wisely When we are given time to work on an assignment, we use that time for that purpose only. Only when we have finish that assignment, do we begin to work on anything else. When we have finish all of our work, we ask permission to do something else. Don’t think that you will just do work at home and use study time for play.

4. Working quietly When we are given time to work, we do so with our voices off. If you have a question, raise your hand. Do not visit with your neighbors during work time. When working in groups we use our 6 inch voices and talk with only those in our group about the task we are working on.

6. Work/Homework Completed We understand that we will have homework sometimes. We will make sure that we have our work and homework completed when it is due. If we are not sure when something is due or we have questions about our work, we will ask the teacher! We will take pride in our work!!
