Entering Classroom
When you enter the classroom, this is where you should go directly.
What is my assigned seat?
When the bell rings, conversations should do this.
What is stop?
When the teacher or another student has the floor, these should not be happening between classmates.
What are side conversations?
When independent work begins, you should do this instead of waiting for the teacher to remind you.
What is begin the assignment promptly?
This person—not the bell—dismisses the class.
Who is the teacher?
Pencils, paper, and other needed supplies should be gathered at this time whenever possible.
What is before the bell rings?
This is the first assignment you should immediately begin when the bell rings.
What is the Bellringer?
If you have a question during instruction, you should do this rather than calling out.
What is raise my hand or use the classroom signal?
Before asking the teacher for help, your first step should be to do this.
What is reread the directions?
You should begin packing your belongings at this time.
What is when the teacher gives the cleanup signal/instructs us to pack up?

What is Voice Level 0/silent?
You've asked the teacher for help, but the teacher is helping another student. This is what you should do while you wait.
What is continue working on what I can?
Three students start standing by the door because there are 30 seconds left in class. You should do this instead of joining them.
What is remain in my assigned seat and wait for dismissal?
You realize you don't have a pencil, and there are two minutes until the bell. Your friend is telling you a funny story. This should be your priority.
What is get the supplies I need and prepare for class?
You've finished your Bellringer, but the teacher is still taking attendance. Instead of talking to your neighbor, you should do these things.
What are review my work and prepare for the lesson?
Your friend whispers, "Wait, what did he just say?" while the teacher is explaining the assignment. This is the best thing for you to do.
What is continue listening rather than starting a side conversation?
During independent work, your friend says, "What did you get for number five?" This is how you should respond.
What is continue working independently and remind them that it is independent work?
Your neighbor starts packing up, so you assume class must be over. This classroom rule tells you why you should keep working.
What is do not begin packing up until instructed?

What is seated, materials out, and prepared to begin?
Correct everything wrong with this scenario:
"The bell rings. Jordan continues talking, walks across the room to sharpen a pencil, then asks the teacher what they're supposed to be doing while attendance is being taken."
