• I will open the door or instruct someone close to the door to open it.
Questions about Leaving the Room…
• Your main priority is to learn and perform well in my class. You have numerous opportunities to go restroom, office, and other places before or after my class.
• I need a parent note/contact or email from another teacher before you can leave my class.
Absent Folder with work
• When you are absent, sign the folder and it will tell you your missing assignments.
• If there is only one copy left ask me for an extra ticket.
Group Activity
• You will be grouped in pairs. • You will be assigned different rolesYour grade in your group will be determined by
how well you do your role in the group.You must have a quiet “inside” voice. (Slightly
above a whisper. I should not hear your conversation.)
Think, Pair, Share• When we share what we have learned after research or instruction,
we must share our ideas in an orderly fashion.• I will say “go” when it is time to start. Make sure that when you are
sharing, that you stay in your seat. Converse with the neighbors nearest you about the content.
• Make sure that you are a little above a whisper. If you chose not to follow direction, you will have less time to talk to your friends.
• After we share what we have learned with our neighbor, we will have a class discussion. I will ask you what you have learned and what your neighbor has learned.
• No one likes to be embarrassed. Follow Directions so your classmates do not have negative thoughts about you wasting our time.
Collaborative Learning/Centers• I will give you directions before the activity. The directions
will be stated verbally or written on the smartboard.• The materials for the centers will be under your desk in a
ziplock bag or on butcher paper. Your attention should be on the teacher and you hands should be on or above you desk.
• During the individual centers make sure that you are quiet and focused on the assignment.
• After the center, we will review the assignment. Participate!

Collaborative Learning: Whiteboard & Active Game
• When we are using the whiteboard, they will be placed underneath your desk.
• You will receive a dry erase marker, if you do not have one during bellwork or during an assignment.

• During the game, the class will be split into two teams. One person will volunteer to read the problem and then the class will write their answer on the dry erase board.
• Keep your boards down until I give the call (1, 2, 3 boards up). This will prevent the other team from seeing your answer.
Presentations

• positive listening• We will look at the speaker, not laughing
unless appropriate, and always applauding for each speaker at the end of the presentations.
