given to you. If you are not on task and are instructed exit
and re-enter the classroom, it is possible to be tardy.
Tardies
Sometimes I call this the Do Now or Jumpstart activity, but it needs to be immediately done at the beginning of class
The Intro activity can include any type of activity such as:◦ Answering questions◦ Writing prompt◦ Taking out supplies requested by teacher◦ Silent reading◦ Picking up worksheets from the front◦ Setting up a Lab
If you need to pick up a worksheet, make a loop around the classroom so as not to collide with students behind you.

Pencil Sharpening
Pencils may be sharpened during the Intro activity without having to ask me
Once class has begun, however, you must ask for permission to sharpen
