a fist and twist it.
Once you have my
attention I will let you
know if it is the
appropriate time to
go.
Try to use the restroom before you come to class
because when you leave the classroom you are missing

15. I need to sharpen my
pencil!
It would be best if every student had
their own personal pencil sharpener.
I do not have a pencil sharpener
available for the class to use.
If you need your pencil sharpened you
can silently ask a neighbor to borrow
their sharpener.
Let them know you need the pencil
sharpener by pointing to the tip of your
pencil.
Use pencil only!!

up to get one or I will
bring one to you.
