It is important for middle school students to learn self-directed procedures. When students enter the class, they have three tasks to accomplish before we begin the lesson.
1. Update your reading log. I expect students to read an average 30 minutes each night, or an average 150 minutes per week.
2. If you have pencils, sharpen them now. You may also use the tissues and hand sanitizer. I do not want students walking around the room during instruction.
3. Finally, if you have an extra minute, you may check out a book or read at your desk.
At the end of every class students should:
1. Fill out their agenda with a summary word of today's lesson and any homework. Remember you always have reading homework.
2. Collect all your supplies and place them on your desk.
3. You may check out a book.
