Be Quiet or Use an Inside Voice: While walking, students should be quiet or use a soft voice to avoid disturbing others who may be working.
Respect Others' Space: Students should be mindful of personal space, not bumping into or pushing others as they walk.
Follow Directions: If the teacher or another adult gives specific instructions for moving around the room, students should follow them promptly and respectfully.
Be Aware of the Environment: Students should pay attention to their surroundings, avoiding distractions and being careful around furniture, equipment, or other obstacles in the room.

Stay Organized: Keep your desk area tidy while retrieving the planner, so that materials don’t get scattered or misplaced.
Place It on Your Desk: Once the planner is out, place it neatly on your desk, open to the correct page or date as instructed by the teacher.
Focus on the Task: Be ready to follow the next set of instructions, whether it's writing down homework, reviewing the day's schedule, or something else.
