8. Procedures How do we do things in Miss Hardy’s room?  Entering the classroom: You should enter the class ready and excited to learn, when you get into the classroom it is fine to briefly greet friends and Miss Hardy but then you must start on the morning routine that is on the board.  “Give me 5” : When I ask you to “give me 5” this means one of your hands goes in the air, your eyes will be on me, all talking stops, and you are waiting patiently and quietly for further instructions.  Sharpening pencils : Pencils should be sharpened before we begin our daily 5 routine. You may sharpen your pencils any time during arrival and the morning routine. You will not get up to sharpen your pencil when I am talking, and if you need to ask for another pencil put 2 fingers in the air and I will hand you one.  Turning in homework : All homework should be turned into the homework basket on the right of Miss Hardy’s desk when you arrive in the classroom and have unpacked your book bag.  Bathroom time : When you need to use the bathroom put your pinky finger high in the air. Once you are acknowledged (most likely with a head nod or thumbs up) you may take the bathroom pass and proceed to the bathroom quickly and quietly (only 2 students may go to the bathroom at any given time).
