1. Classroom Procedures and Expectations 6 th Grade Math Mrs. Mittermeier

2. Classroom Procedures Voice Level 2 Each and every day at the beginning of class I expect that you will: Copy the days information into your planner. Have homework out and available for me to see. According to the day of the week*, (see below) one person at each table will retrieve the Math Journals for your team. If that person is absent it is the responsibility of the person next in line. Begin work on the daily Math Box as soon as you have completed the first three items on this list. Unless otherwise advised use the “3 Before Me” strategy to ask questions. * Monday = Seat 1, Tuesday = Seat 2, Wednesday = Seat 3, Thursday = Seat 4, Friday = Seat 5

3. Classroom Expectations Be respectful of: self, teacher, teammates, space and materials DO: raise hand, listen when others are speaking, return borrowed materials better than you found them DON’T: tip chairs back, take without asking, yell out, roll eyes, raise lip, whisper under breath Be prepared every day Have all needed materials with you. Be a polite and positive participant Speak in a normal tone of voice, and listen attentively when others are talking. Be productive Turn in work on time, and always do your best.

All assignments are posted daily on the white board and weekly on the Jardine Web site. If you are absent for any reason it is your responsibility to collect any missed assignments from the teacher and any missed notes from a trusted teammate. Each absence has a one-day grace period for work missed.
