You are leaving class and see a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. It's not yours. What should you do? Why?

+1 point if you can tell me WHY it's wrong.
He spoke while Mrs. Keyes was speaking.
Bonus: It shows a lack of respect for both the teacher and the other students in class who are trying to listen.
Why do we have to raise our hands/wait our turn before talking?
To show respect for others and to keep the classroom a calm and happy environment for all learners.
Why can we not spray perfume inside the school?
Many reasons--allergies, asthma, covering up smells, etc.
Bobby arrives to class 5 minutes late. This is poor Bobby's 4th tardy. What will happen to Bobby?
Poor, sweet Bobby will get a tardy write-up and will have to serve detention.
If class is over and Mrs. Keyes is still taking, do you have permission to leave yet?
Yes! If time is up, it's up! Leave! I won't be mad.
If you ask Mrs. Keyes if you can go to the bathroom during class, what will she say?
"Is it an emergency?"
If it's an emergency, don't ask. Run out the door. Otherwise, wait until class change.
If you are having a bathroom emergency, you'll just have to suffer and hold it.
True or False.
False. If it's an emergency, run out the door.

Little Bobby will get a level two for defiance.
Billy comes into ELA class loudly. He talks to his friends and texts on his phone before taking a seat.
What 3 things did Billy do wrong?
+Double bonus points: What consequences would Billy get?
1. He should come into class quietly.
2. He should put his phone up in the door pocket and then go directly to his assigned seat.
3. He needs to begin the warm-up, not text or anything else.
Bonus: Billy would get a warning for talking loudly. He would get his phone taken up for having it out in class. For not going to his seat right away and beginning the success starter, he would get a level one for not following directions.
There is only 1 minute left in class. Should you begin getting out of your seat and heading toward the door?
No. Mrs. Keyes is already making a compromise by giving you the last minute to pack up. If you get out of your seat early, you will get a level one for not following directions.
What will Mrs. Keyes do to get your attention--especially during group work?
Ring a bell.
What does Mrs. Keyes expect you to do in class?
Listen. Try. Learn.
