Procedures and Routine
The procedures and routines that I mention below will be taught the first two weeks of school so that the students can practice and learn what is expected of them.
​
Procedures and Routines:
1. Pledge of allegiance: The pledge of allegiance will be done in the morning after warm-up time. The students will stand up, place their right hand on their heart and say the pledge of allegiance. The student cannot sit, dance, scream, or distract others while saying the pledge of allegiance.
2. Arrival routine: The student will greet the teacher before entering the classroom, take out their homework folder from their backpack and ID, put their backpack away, and quietly go sit at their desk to do their independent warm-up question of the day.
3. Morning warm-up: The student will have one warm-up every day with a range of four to six questions. On Monday they will be a math warm-up, which could include questions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and word problems. On Tuesday they will be a social studies warm-up, which could include questions about a historical event, providing a fact or two about a historical figure, and listing three facts about a country they recently learned about. On Wednesday they will be a language arts warm-up, which could include sentence structure practice, correcting a jumbled sentence, writing a summary about a short story, and spelling words. On Thursday they will have a science warm-up, which could include science procedures, listing and defining vocabulary terms, listing the safety procedures during an experiment, and writing two facts about an organism. On Friday they will have a question from each subject with two bonus questions that could be from anything they learned during the week.
4. Dismissal routine: When students are about to leave they need to make sure their desk area is cleaned up. After they clean up I will transition them to getting their backpack by calling five students at a time to grab their backpack. Then they will go back to their seat and sit quietly and wait for their transportation to be called on the speaker.
5. Hallway behavior: When students have to line up in the hallway they have to be quiet, standing tall, facing forward, and listen to the teachers instructions.
6. Center transition: When I need the students to transition from center to center I will ring a bell that they can distinguish from the silent bell that they need to clean up their center and move on. I will be pulling small groups for guided reading time during station time.
7. Clean up time: The students will hear the cleanup song and stop what they are doing and start cleaning up the class and their desk area.
8. Silent bell: The silent bell will be rung once which means the students need to be quiet, face the teacher, and put their hands on their lap. The silent bell will be used during an experiment, reading time, during carpet time, and activity instruction time that is held at the carpet.
9. Greeting the teacher: The teacher will be greeted upon arrival of class, when being picked up from specials, and when leaving class for dismissal.
10. Bathroom pass: The student will raise their hand and cross their first two fingers to go to the bathroom. They will raise their hand and show just their index finger to go get a drink of water. Only one boy can go to the boy’s restroom and one girl can go to the girl’s restroom at a time.
11. Field day: The students will be respectful and quiet when going on a field trip. The students will listen to the teachers instruction and rules when going on a field trip.
