Why are transitions quiet?
So you can hear directions.

Whose part of the board should you look at?
your own
What does working for time mean?
It means you work for the whole time, even if you finish one thing, you move on to the next

Only the person directly behind you.
What happens if I refuse to return to class when my break is done?
Time on board, breakspace unavailable in the future.

Leaving the classroom, getting gum, getting a laptop
If someone else is getting something that is different or "special", do you need that too or should you comment on it?
No, everyone needs different things and has different plans
If you don't have your name on your paper, what will happen?
It will be counted as missing work and you will have to redo it
What do you do if you need items from your cubby?
Unless a staff calls you early to get those items, you can wait until we are transitioning out of the classroom to get them.
What do I get if I don't use my break stars in the day?
What are three rules of personal time?
No talking, get what you get, focus on self, don't get up, don't change items, your level is what you are available for
Should you ask where someone else is?
No, it is their business.
If you finish your work, what do you do?
What do you do if you are transitioning in line, but an adult begins talking to you?
Remind the staff that your voice is off.
What happens when a staff asks you to take a break? Why would they do this?
Take a break star and go to a breakspace. Staff asked because they noticed that you weren't asking for one when you needed one.
What is a blanket direction?
A direction that is said for everyone and you don't have to ask again for permission.
If someone else is not on task, is it your job to correct them or to tell an adult
No, teachers are aware of what is going on.
How many times should a teacher have to say a direction? If you are still confused what should you do?
