CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

Mr. Aleme’s Classroom Green Dot Public Schools

Los Angeles, California

FOREWORD

■ Welcome to Mr. Aleme’s class. ■ I am here to teach; you are here to

learn. I will do my job; you will do yours, and we will together use this year wisely and beneficially.

■ Positive attitude is the key of success. Let’s keep it all the time.

WHY DO WE HAVE PROCEDURES?

■ A procedure is the way that we do things. ■ To do things right, we have to follow some

simple procedures, for example: ● To open your digital door lock, you have to select

your combination of letters and numbers as directed by the lock manufacturer.

● To play a chess game, you need to apply the rules of the game. If you’re not aware of the rules, you cannot play the game!

■ So, to be successful in learning, you need to follow some simple procedures.

ENTRANCE

■ Make sure you have all necessary materials for the class.

■ Enter the classroom quietly. ■ Go directly to your assigned

seat. ■ Get ready for your work.

DURING INSTRUCTION■ Listen to the teacher with full attention. ■ No talking, or whispering when the teacher

speaks. ■ Don’t write anything during instruction. You

will be given time for taking notes. ■ Ask permission to speak by raising your

hand first. ■ Ask questions related to the subject. Other

questions which are not related to the subject can be asked after instruction.

■ After instruction, make sure you understand the concept. If not, ask questions by mentioning which part you didn’t understand.

WHILE YOU ARE WORKING

■ Make sure you read or listen to the directions about your work and understand them.

■ If you didn’t understand, ask help from other students sitting around you. If they also don’t understand, ask to the teacher to explain it.

■ If you are asked to help, be polite and kind and offer your best.

■ Talking to each other should be no louder than a whisper. The person sitting on the other side of the room should not be interrupted by your noise.

■ Respect each other and be friendly. ■ Use your time wisely. Put forth your best effort to

finish your work on time.

KEEPING YOUR NOTEBOOK

■ You should have a science notebook which will be used for only your science class. (A composition notebook is recommended.)

■ Use pen or pencil to write in your notebook. Using two different colors, one for the title and a different one for the body of the text, will make your note look better and more organized.

■ The first page should be the title page. Write your full name, section, and school name on it.

■ Number the pages in the right bottom corner. ■ Always write the title with capital letters. ■ Each day, put the date first. ■ Keep your notebook clean and organized. ■ Your notebook will be collected and checked from

time to time. Turn it in on time when you are asked. ■ Take good care of your notebook. Do not lose it.

IF THE TEACHER RAISES HIS HAND IN CLASS ASSIGNMENT / TEST/ QUIZ TIMES

■ Stop whatever you are doing at that moment.

■ Face the teacher and wait silently. ■ Notify any classmates who haven’t

noticed that the teacher has raised his hand.

■ No talking or whispering. All of your attention should be given to the teacher.

AFTER YOU ARE DONE■ Check your work and the

directions one more time to see if you missed anything or did something incorrectly.

■ Hand-out the answer papers. ■ If the class assignment is to be

turned in, do so. ■ If you finish early, read your

book, notebook, etc.

DISMISSAL

■ Clean your work area and take all garbage to the trash can.

■ Wait for Mr. Aleme to dismiss you. The ring of the bell does not dismiss you immediately.

■ After you get permission to leave, push in your chair and leave quietly.

■ If it is the last period of the day, stack the chairs by the back wall.

Thank You.

WHEN YOU ARE TARDY

■ Stand by Mr. Aleme’s desk. ■ Inform him of your excuse or give him

your tardy pass. ■ Go to your seat after you are given

permission to do so. ■ You will not be excused from any

work you missed. Get the assignment from a classmate and do it at class if you have time, or at home.

WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT

■ Get the assignments from your classmates and the worksheet from Mr. Aleme.

■ If you missed a test because of your excused absence, inform Mr. Aleme and arrange a time to make up the test after school.

■ You will not be able to make up any work if you have an unexcused absence. You will get a “0” for those assignments.
