What are the push lights on the whiteboard for?
They are to tell us what the volume of the classroom should be. However, they should not be the only way we should know how loud we should be. We can use our judgement to know too.

Your seat!

Why do we wait until Miss.Izzo says to come into the classroom?
The classroom is a place for learning. It should be quiet and calm so when we are waiting outside it gives us a chance to calm down and focus on why we are at school.

When she is ready to help you she will call your number and you can get help. While you are waiting make sure to ask people at your table group for help as well.
Where do we put our indoor shoes when we come from lunch
In a nice straight line along the wall of the hallway outside of our class. Make sure your shoes are together!!
