Room Procedures

1. Enter the room silently. 

   1. If you want to visit, visit in the hall​.

   2. Be in your seat though when the bell rings or you are tardy.

2. Warm-up and agenda

   1. Students silently do the warm-up that is on the screen. This is review.

   2. The agenda is on the front whiteboard. The agenda will let students know what will be due each day.

   3. When students are finished they will read silently.

   4. Mr. Kee will then go over the warm-up. This is a time for students who didn’t understand to ask questions. 

3. Check last assignment

   1. After the assignment is corrected Mr. Kee will answer students’ questions.

   2. Warm-up and last assignment should take about 10-15 minutes.

4. New concept presented

   1. Direct Instruction -- Students will take notes in their math notebook. 

   2. Students then move towards independence by doing example problems in class.

   3. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

5. Assignment

   1. For the rest of the period students will work on the assignment. This is homework if not finished.

   2. Students are expected to show their work.

   3. Students will circle or box their answers to visually separate them from the rest of their work.

   4. If a student finishes early they may check their work with someone near them who is also finished.

   5. Students may also silently read or work on another class assignment if they have it with them.

   6. Worksheets are generally corrected the next day.

6. If students are absent they need to turn in finished work in the absent/redo box for their class period.

7. Test correction procedure​

   1. Students will score their own test initially. Research on students scoring their own tests.

   2. Students have one week to complete test corrections. The week begins on the day that your graded test is handed back to you.

   3. Students may get help from their classmates, parents, or teacher ( If a student needs to come in before school please ask Mr. Kee for a hall pass).

   4. Students must do the following on a separate sheet of paper for the incorrect problems on the test:

      1. Number the problem that you missed

      2. Write at least two complete sentences 

         1. explaining what your error was and 

         2. what you need to do to correct it.

      3. Show all work to correct the problem or question and include the right answer

         1. Example sentences #1   I made a simple multiplication mistake. I wrote that 6x4 was 48.  6x4=24

         2. Example sentences #2   When dividing fractions I forgot to change the divide to multiply. I also forgot to flip the second fraction.  1/2 ÷ 3/4 = 1/2 ⋅ 4/3 = 4/6 = 2/3

      4. You can earn as much as half of the missed points back.

   5. Students need to turn in redone work in the absent/redo box for their class.

8. A paper without a complete heading- name, period, date - is put in the black hole.

   1. If a student finds their paper in the black hole, they need to put the heading on the paper and turn it in the absent/redo box.

9. To get help, students need to:

   1. Listen carefully to the instructions when Mr. Kee gives them.

   2. Check their math notebook.

   3. Raise their hand and Mr. Kee will help.

   4. If Mr. Kee is busy helping someone, go ahead and quietly ask another student nearby.

10. No food in the classroom.

11. When Mr. Kee wants the class’s attention he will generally say “back to me”, expecting them to look at him, and listen for his instruction.

12. End of period dismissal is signaled by Mr. Kee, and not by the clock or alarm.

13. Students may sharpen their pencil when Mr. Kee or another student is not talking to the whole class.

14. Students can get a drink or use the bathroom at any time between classes.

15. Ask permission to leave the classroom.

16. Students are too old to tattle, but please do tell Mr. Kee if they are hurt, or someone needs help.

17. If a student feels like they are going to vomit:

    1. Go directly to the bathroom even if Mr. Kee is speaking to the class.

18. As planned, when the fire alarm rings, students will quietly proceed to the front of the school by the fence.

19. When someone knocks at the door or comes in the room, students need to continue working.

20. Cupboards, drawers, closet, and other teacher areas are Mr. Kee's property.
