Classroom Procedures for
Room 152
Señora K. Corman
Attention getting signal
The signal is one hand in the air and the
other hand with one finger on the lips (the
“shh” sign)
When given the signal, students will:
Freeze
Look at the teacher
Listen to what the teacher is saying
We need 100% cooperation every time to be successful.
Entering the classroom
When entering the classroom, do the following:
 Enter quietly, find your seat.
 Start the bell ringer on the board/projector.
 Do this without talking.
 You may sharpen your pencil, if necessary,
before starting the bell ringer.
Passing out/Collecting papers
When materials are passed out students will:
 Take one for themselves.
 Pass the rest to the next person.
 Speak in a quiet voice, only when necessary.
When papers are collected, students will:
 Place their paper on top of the other papers.
 Make sure their name is on the paper.
 Pass the papers to the front of the row for collection.
In-seat Transitions
When you are asked to clear your desks for a new activity, you will:
 Put away materials.
 Stay seated.
 Do this without talking.
 Get ready for the new activity (take out new materials)
 Stay seated
 Do this without talking
Out-of-seat Transitions
Occasionally, you will be asked to move from your seat to
do activities. When you are asked to do so, I expect the
following:
 Stay seated until told to move
 No talking
 Stand up, quietly move to the new location after the
signal
 Follow directions, move directly to new location.
Emergency Drills
When there is an emergency drill, students will file
out the door and out into the parking lot.
There is no talking during the drill-school rule.
Violation could result in detention.
I will be the last person out, closing the door. I will
assign one person to be in charge of the room
number packet, all students will line up behind
this person in the parking lot and wait patiently
without talking.
End of the period
When it is time for the period to end, I will let you
know when you are permitted to leave.
I will occasionally allow time at the end of the
period for class work or homework, but it must
be done quietly. This is a perfect time to ask
questions or clarify points.
