Classroom Procedures

ENTERING THE ROOM

• ALWAYS enter the art room in a quiet, respectful manner
• Take your seat and start on your “bellwork” or agenda at the beginning of each class
• If you aren’t in the seat when class begins, you will be marked with a tardy

COMING TO CLASS TARDY

• Coming to class tardy will result in a Minor Incident Report
• Sign your name and time of tardy on the sign in sheet by the door

SEEKING MY HELP

• Shouting out questions or answers in the art room is never an acceptable means to get my attention.
• If I am in the middle of a lesson, please save your questions until the lesson is complete.
• Always raise your hand! Don’t shout out! This is not an option!!
• I move around the room often. I WILL get to you. If I nod at you, that means I know you need me and I will be helping you soon.
• I CANNOT help every student at the same time. Be Patient, grasshoppers!

SIGNALS TO BECOME QUIET

• If I raise my hand up in the air (give me five)
• If I ring a bell
• If I stand in front of the classroom

You should then;

• Stop what you are doing
• Sit in your seat if you aren’t already
• Stop talking
• Look to me for instructions

DISMISSAL FROM CLASS

• First, you will be dismissed by table. You must be standing behind your seat in order for your table to be dismissed.
• You will line up by the door. Never leave the room until I have dismissed you.
