  hands and stating their answer when the teacher

  that student for an answer. Once that student
  has been called on that day, the teacher
  transfers their stick to another jar. When the
  teacher goes through all the sticks, he/she will
  start all over again.

  may quietly hang up their jackets and book bags,
  and have a seat at their desks. Each morning a
  question will be placed on the board and the
  students will take out their journals and begin
  to write on this topic. Students will continue
  to write on this topic until the teacher asks the
  students to finish. Each day the class will go
  over the daily weather, the calendar, lunch menu,
  and special events such as birthdays or other up
  coming activities. The teacher will also take
  this opportunity to collect money, permission
  slips, and check students home folders (also a
  way of checking attendance).

16
Contd

• End of Day
• Before the end of the day announcements come
  over the loud speaker, the teacher will ask the
  students to take out their home folders. The
  teacher will then go over the materials that
  should have been placed in this folder throughout
  the day, to ensure the students are taking home
  the right materials. The teacher will also
  review any special announcements with the
  students and remind them of any special papers
  parents may need to read and sign. The teacher
  may also take this time to briefly discuss any
  events that will be taking place the next day, to
  get the students motivated and thinking about it.
  The students will then be dismissed according to
  whether they are riding the bus home, being
  picked up, or attending ASP.

• Student conduct during delays, interruptions
• It is vitally important that all students remain
  silent during delays or interruptions so that
  they can hear any important information or what
  directions they are to follow next. They should
  quietly stop whatever activities they are engaged
  in, and listen. If a delay were to occur while
  the students and teacher were waiting for a
  special event or any out of the ordinary
  situation, the group will remain together and
  follow the teachers lead.

18
Contd

• Fire drill
• During a fire drill students must immediately
  stop whatever they are doing and line up at the
  door. The line leader will already be
  pre-established as well as the student who will
  remain at the end of the line. Students will
  wait at the door while the teacher has accounted
  for all students. The students will quickly, yet
  safely walk to the nearest exit that has been
  predetermined by the school. Students must
  remain in line, and remain silent. The students
  will walk out of the school to their classs pre
  assigned area and turn around to face the teacher
  and the school, while remaining in line.
  Students will silently wait for the next
  direction. If it were a real fire the teacher
  would give the next direction to the students, in
  the case of a fire drill the class will begin to
  reenter the building only after the all clear
  bell has rung.
