Morning Routines
Each homeroom teacher will be explaining the new morning routines to their students.
Who will be teaching the morning routines to students?
I need to clear my classroom and close the door so that the door locks.
I need to be on the roof right when the bell rings as students go out right away. Students need to be supervised on the roof and it is my responsibility to be there.
What do I do on the day that I have recess supervision on the roof?
Who should come down with their teacher to the lunchroom at lunchtime?
Only before class begins. Once class has started, only students who belong in that classroom may enter.
When can a student enter her classroom to get her supplies?
Desks are pre-assigned, rules and routines are on the walls, boxes are unpacked, the room looks neat and organized, bulletin boards are decorated.
How do I know that my classroom is ready for the 1st day?
Students can ,eat breakfast, chat with friends, play cards, work on homework, read, make bracelets or lanyard
What are students allowed to do in the morning as they wait for their teacher?
I keep an eye on the students in my classroom.
I also keep an eye on the hallway and if students are hanging out there, remind them to find a classroom ( or the roof) to be in.
What do I do on a day that I have classroom supervision?
No one, unless you have discussed it with me ( Mrs. Zuckerman)
Who is allowed to be out of the lunchroom ( meeting with a teacher, etc.)
She must have a hall pass. Only one student is allowed out at a time.
P.S. Classrooms will receive a new pass each month( a different color each month). If it gets lost, students cannot be out unless the teacher creates a pass for them.
What does a student need to be in the hallway during classtime?
There is a schedule:
10:45-11:15 The C classes
11:20-11:50 The K classes.
Teachers should supervise the hallway and help make sure that students clean up when they are done. It is worth taking a few minutes before organization time to give some tips and discuss the procedure ( top lockers/ bottom/ clean up...etc.)
Touch the smartboard, whiteboard, the supplies of others, markers, computer, teachers desk.
Hang out in the hallways, bathrooms, or anywhere but the classrooms.
What should students not do in the morning?
I need to be on time, wrapping up at the review bell and dismissing when the recess bell rings
When do I need to finish class in order to be ready for recess to run smoothly.
To help supervise the girls, sit with them, chat with them, keep an eye out for social "drama" and support them.
What is the responsibility of a teacher during lunch?
No, it can't be edible as invariably students hand it out to their classmates.
P.S. Please touch base before making a class party/ event to ensure that it will all work out. Please touch base before telling students about it.
May students make edible homemade classroom projects?
