When the teacher or a classmate is speaking, how can you show them you are listening and respect what they are saying?
Facing them, not talking, not messing with things in your desk or something that would distract you, fully listening to what they are saying, if you have a question about something they are talking about, waiting until they are done to quietly raise your hand and ask your question.
Why do you think it is important to complete a task when asked by Miss Kiessling or another teacher in a timely manner? What if you do not feel like or agree with the task being asked?
So you do not get behind on work and so that you are ready for the next thing.
Try and work through those feelings, take a break, get a drink and return to the task. Raise your hand to ask a question if you are confused or do not understand something.
It is inside recess, and someone is playing with the game you want to play with. What should you do?

Give the best way to handle this scenario:
Miss Kiessling had to step out of the room for a moment and someone in the class is being very loud, is not doing their morning work, and is getting up and going around the room messing with other peoples' Chromebooks. You know this is not what they are supposed to be doing, but you do not want to get in trouble for telling them what they should be doing, and you still need to finish your work as well. What would be the best way to handle this situation?
Ignoring their behavior, hold up a zero to remind them what voice level they should be at, and continue working on your morning page or Must Do's until Miss Kiessling returns.
Give the best way to handle this scenario:
You had a pencil ready to go for math, and while writing it broke. What would be the best thing to do to not interrupt the lesson and get a new pencil?
Hold up a 2 immediately and get a pencil
Give the best way to handle this scenario:
Miss Kiessling is with a group and you know not to interrupt, but you have no clue what do to on your paper. What should you do to solve this problem?
Ask 3 people near you in a Voice Level 1 if they remember what to do, even if they are not on the same activity as you
Ask someone doing the same activity as you if they remember what to do
