Procedures

Attention Signal

Anytime I say “Spongebob” the students will respond with “Squarepants” and all eyes and ears will be on the teacher. If in the classroom setting, the students will be in ready position with hands on desk, both cheeks in the seat, eyes on the teacher, and mouths closed. If in the hall or on a field trip, students will close mouths and have eyes on the teacher.

Coming into Class

Each day students will walk into class and get their folder from the “Information station” and get their folders and journals. They will then proceed to their assigned seat and begin on the daily journal assignment. Students are allowed to converse with the teacher about their day with an inside voice. If any student needs help for any reason, they may raise their hand. Students can get up to sharpen their pencil as long as they are back in their assigned seat by the time the bell rings.

Transitioning from one Learning Station to the Next

Students will move from one station to the next in less than 15 seconds. Students can only say “excuse me” and “thank you” to their peers. If students need help, they are to raise their hand. Students are to take care of sharpening their pencil before the 15 seconds are up. A direct route to each station will be shown to the students and they must then follow that route each time.

End of Class

I will end learning stations 10 minutes before the bell. When learning stations end, students are to return their folders and journals to the “information station” and return to their assigned seat withing 25 seconds. I will then wrap up the class. Students will then stay in their seat until the teacher dismisses them. No students are to speak. If students are in need of teacher assistance, they may come up to the teacher after she dismisses the class.
