Classroom Routines & Rituals COACH WHITE’S Class

Welcome!! There are 4 classroom rules. Each of the following rules explain the expectations and procedures in my classroom.

Class Rule #1: BE PROMPT! Be on time to class and take your seat promptly to begin the class. The 9: 10 bell means class starts. You are tardy after the 9: 10 bell. Go to your locker and the RESTROOM between classes. When you enter the classroom, READ the agenda on the board and write classwork and homework in your agenda.

Class Rule #1: BE PROMPT! Sharpen pencils BEFORE the 9: 10 bell. ONLY sharpen pencils in the electric sharpener. Sharpen color pencils in the hand sharpener on the wall.

Class Rule #2: BE PREPARED! Bring to class daily: agenda, Unit Folder, highlighter, paper, and pencils Bring all completed homework and assignments to class when due
