What is a procedure? A procedure is the way we do things

Procedures Keep voices low at all times. In the hallways and during announcements there is NO talking. Respect each other at all times, as well as respect all other students, teachers, principals, and visitors at our school. Use your best manners at all times. Keep your hands and feet to yourselves.

Morning Procedures Greet your teachers as soon as you walk into your classroom. Greet your peers. Get a laptop and begin doing readingplus.com

Bathroom Procedures Do not interrupt the teachers to use the restroom. Raise your hand and show a number 1, so that the teacher knows you need to use the restroom. Behave in the restroom.

Dismissal Procedures The bell does not dismiss you….the teacher dismisses you. Before getting dismissed, clean up the area around your desk. Reflect what you have learned in class today.

What is etiquette? Etiquette is a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group. There are many ways to act when certain situations occur…

How to act when…. -Someone gives something to you (3 seconds) -Your teacher is speaking -YOU are speaking (eye contact) -You win or loose a game -You meet someone (learn everyone’s names) -Bump, Burp, or Sneeze -Work is given -Eating lunch (saving seats and talking) -Someone else is getting in trouble -Lining up (no cuts!)

Becoming a young adult -Personal Space -Honesty -Respect (gestures) -Organization -Fair to Share

Where do I sit? Each desk has a name tag on it, make sure you read the name on the name tag and this will be your seat in our classroom.
