When you first enter class, this is the first thing you should start working on.
Do Now
This is where you return a pencil at the end of class.

Be silent and listen
If you are tardy, this is the first thing you give me before quietly taking your seat.
A pass
This is where you find extra paper copies of assignments if you were absent.
Absent Bin
If a behavior continues after a warning, you complete this to reflect on next steps.
An action plan
This is the correct way to name a digital assignment before submitting.
Period_Last Name_Assignment Name
This type of drill means we continue class, but no one leaves the room.
