During the Lesson:

    Take notes in your notebook.  Each day, the date should be written before the notes    
    begin.  Please do not waste paper, write on the front and back of each sheet.

    Ask questions if you do not understand!

    Follow all class expectations.

Group work or individual time:

    If the work is individual, then it is silent time.

    If the work is group work, you may converse with your group members.
        Make sure you stay focused.
        Listen to other people’s ideas.
        Work together to solve problems.
        Exhaust all avenues before asking the teacher for assistance.

Classroom Facilities:

    Water fountain/Pencil Sharpener
        If you need either of these, wait until group work or individual time before asking          
        permission
.  Please do not interrupt the lesson.  You are welcome to have your own       
        water bottle at your desk, but it must be stored on the floor.  If the privileges are
        abused, they will be closed to the individual, or the class.

Exit Procedures:

    Pack up when instructed to do so.
   
    Check your desk and the floor around you for your belongings and garbage, carry any trash
     to the garbage can on the way out of the room.
    Wait until your row is dismissed-rows will be dismissed based upon cleanliness and            
        silence.
