10 Procedures:

End of the day — Clean off your desk; leave out your work notebook; pick up any trash within three feet of your desk; stack your chair; collect your mail; wait quietly to be dismissed.

Entering the classroom — Enter quietly and politely; remove your hat if you’re wearing one; don’t interrupt other students; follow the appropriate procedures for each time of day (e.g., morning, after lunch, after a special class).

Exiting the room — Tell me where you are going; take the correct hall pass; do not run or play in the hallways or restrooms.

Fire drill — Stop everything; stand up and head for the door quickly, but without running or pushing; do not cover your ears; do not make any side trips; the classroom “fire chief” takes the fire drill packet and leads the line outside; the second person in line holds the classroom door for the rest of the class; the third person in line holds the outside door only for our class, then becomes the last person in line; wait patiently, calmly, and quietly in line outside until we are allowed to go back to what we were doing.

Getting help with assignments — Quietly ask the students at your table for help with directions if you need it; if you are working alone, raise your hand to get help from me; if you are working with a group, ask them for help in understanding how you do the assignment.

Getting into work groups — Take all the materials you will need; greet each other; complete the task doing your personal best; make sure each person signs the project; thank the others in your group.

Helping other students — In a cooperative classroom, it is good to help one another; if someone needs help with directions or reading an assignment, help him or her if you are able; if someone needs help with understanding the problem, tell him or her to ask me for help; never put down another student who asks for help.

Lining up — Stand up quietly; push in your chair; take all necessary items; line up without touching others or talking; face the front of the line; watch where you are going.

Lunch count/attendance — “Hot lunch” means you are having school lunch; “cold lunch” means you brought a lunch from home; move your attendance tag/magnet/clothes pin to the “hot lunch” or “cold lunch” sign/spot; wait patiently for your turn.

Participating in group lessons — Do not bring anything with you unless I ask you to; politely find a place to sit where you can do your best learning; sit flat, not on your knees; listen carefully for new information; raise your hand to speak; do not speak when someone else is speaking.


I believe that teaching is a dynamic interaction between knowledge and curiosity, where my role is to ignite and nurture a passion for learning in my students. I strive to create an inclusive and engaging environment that respects diverse perspectives and encourages critical thinking. By integrating real-world applications with theoretical knowledge, I aim to foster a deep understanding and practical skills. My ultimate goal is to empower students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners, prepared to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.
