** Danielle's Classroom Procedures! ** **Each table will have a table captain. This table captain will change each week based on the child's first name in alphabetical order. The students will determine the table captain each Monday and I will write them on the board. The table captain is responsible for putting out everyone's morning work, passing out their tables papers, and gathering supplies for the table.** **When students arrive they will place homework in the homework basket to be checked. If homework was not completed they must do it during recess.**  **During writing time the students will get their writing offices (picture on picture page) from their special hiding places, set them up at their desk and choose a seed idea to expand upon. If the student completes one story during writing time they must choose another seed idea. When they run out of seed ideas they can create another seed page.** **We will have bathroom breaks during transition times throughout the day. Also when we exit and return to the classroom from activities such as recess, lunch and specials we will visit the restrooms as a class. If a student has an emergency during class they may ask for the bathroom pass.**  **When lining up, I students by table. The tables are coed and of mixed ability group. The tables are numbered One through Five and I call them in a different order each time the students line up.**  **For recess the students line up in a particular order. Students who have their entire recess time line up first, then students who must walk 5 laps, then students who must walk 10 laps, then the students who must complete homework then walk five laps, and finally the students who must sit out the entire recess.** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #7831e2; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**During class visits to the library the students must put the books they are returning on their desk. They are instructed on what types of books they are allowed to check out (1 of their choice, 1 fiction), (1 fiction, 1 non-fiction), etc. They sit in chairs at the library and are given a large blue stick. When they check their books out they will give the stick back to the librarian and sit quietly reading until everyone has checked out a book. The sticks help us know who is still browsing for books and who is supposed to be sitting and waiting.** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #7831e2; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**After breakfast in the mornings each table captain throws away any leftover trash for their table and returns any unopened foods or drinks to the appropriate bin.** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"> <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #7831e2; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**When it is time for calendar math the students know they must get their dry erase board, marker and a student of my choice will distribute paper towels for erasers. Instead of shouting out answers during calendar math, they write their answer on the dry erase board and hold it up. I give them a thumbs up for correct answers and thumbs down if they need to check their answer again. I then choose a student to tell the class the correct answer.** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #7831e2; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**There will be two baskets at the front of the room. One will be full of sharpened pencils and the other is for unsharpened pencils. If a student needs a sharpened pencil they must trade in their unsharpened one. This cuts down on noise and distractions during the school day.** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">
