Classroom Procedures Ms. Proepper Grade 3

Procedures Procedures are the things we do during the day and how we always do them. Everything that we do has a specific way to do it properly. You will find procedures everywhere. They are in the classroom, in the halls, in the lunchroom, and recess. Procedures take practice and review. We will take time to study and practice all procedures.

Good Morning! The classroom opens at 7:55 Remember you can go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. If you do not eat breakfast you may go to the library or the gym. Listen for the first bell and boogie back to the room. Ms. Proepper

Good Morning! Entering the Classroom Always walk and enter quietly. Get breakfast on your way to the classroom. Put all of your things (backpack, jacket) into the coat room. Take out your Traveling Folder and put ALL the papers you need for the teacher to look at in the basket. Collect a Daily Language sheet and do the very best work you can. We will go over all answers after announcements. Be sure you are in your seat, ready to work when the bell rings

End of the Day Getting ready Clean your desk. Be sure that there are no papers on the floor, all complete papers have been turned in and unfinished work is either in your Traveling Folder or in your Desk Folder. You will be dismissed by row or number. Take all papers in your mailbox and put into your Traveling Folder. Go to the coatroom and collect your things. Then come back to your seat and wait for final dismissal. At the end of every day we will review our day and write in our Class Journal. This is also a time for you to complete your Assignment Sheet and set up your Traveling Folder. 5

School Assemblies BEFORE DURING AFTER We will walk to the assembly following our hallway procedures. Be sure we stick together! When entering the assembly, pay attention to the teacher and your classmates. We will get seated as soon as possible. DURING Once seated, feel free to look around, but keep your voice quiet and pay attention to when the assembly is going to begin. Quiet down right away and be respectful to those running the assembly. Show respect by looking at the presenter and not the friends that are near you. AFTER At the end of the assembly, stay seated on the floor. There is no need to stand up. We may be one of the last classes to leave, so be patient and talk with your friends about what you just saw. 7

Traveling Folder, Desk Folder & Mailboxes Traveling Folder – Your Traveling Folder is used to bring papers back and forth to school. At the end of the day you will put all the papers you worked on during the day, your Assignment Sheet, and other papers from your Mailbox into your folder. While at home share with your loved ones. Bring notes from home and completed homework back in it. Mailbox – When work that you have turned in to the teacher has been corrected it will be put into your mailbox. This is also where you will find notes from the office and other school communication. You may take papers out of your mailbox at the end of the day. Desk Folder – This is for “in-progress” papers only! You may use this drawer to keep track of your daily language/math sheets, assignments you are still working on, and art work you are still completing. The folder should stay neat. 9

Hallway Procedures Wait at your desk to be dismissed to line up. We make one line with the line leader at the beginning and door holder second. We always keep our voices to a whisper to respect other student’s learning We keep our hands to ourselves because the hallway is a busy place. We always face forward in line so we know when the line starts moving. We stay close together and keep the line from stretching out too long. Our class always sticks together. We will stop for drinks and bathroom breaks at other times. Make sure you and your classmates stay in line
