1. Classroom Procedures for Fourth Grade
Lunchroom/Recess
Recess is your time to do as you choose. Make good choices on the
playground. This is your time to run and play. Once in the cafeteria, this is
your chance to talk to your classmates-not shout. Be ready to go when I
come to get you at the end of lunch.
Restroom Breaks and Drinking Fountains
Please use the restroom before school and lunch, during snack and recess,
and after recess. Bring a water bottle to keep on the floor by your table.
Library
Library is once a week, we check out books during this time. Bring your books
back for renewal/return anytime before they are due.
Homework
When you have homework it should be readable, complete, and turned in on
time. You will have vocab and spelling every week and math almost everyday.
Group Work
Working in groups is a great way to learn and we will work in groups often. I
do not make groups so you can be with your friends and talk about your
favorite things. Groups are used to help you learn the most. You will have
jobs to do and everyone is expected to participate.
Lining Up-
Two lines. Quick and quiet.
Hallway
We will walk quietly in the hallway to class, lunch, or the bus.
Snack/recess time
We have a late lunch, so please bring a healthy snack (granola bars, apples,
etc.) daily. We may have snack outside to get some exercise.
Calling for Attention
Students who wish to share answers or thoughts on a subject should raise
their hand to be called on.
AR Goals and Library Books-
Students must have a book at their table at all times. If you don’t have one,
choose a book from my shelf first thing in the morning. You are responsible

2. for returning library books on time. Our goal is to read at least 30 minutes
everyday. Your AR goal is 15 points for each three-month period.
Getting Help when the Teacher is Busy
There will be times when you will need help and I’m busy with another
student. When this happens, reread directions, ask another student, and try
again on your own, repeat this process if needed.
Telephone Use
Phone use is only for an emergency- not setting up play dates.
Cell Phones and iPods
Phones are allowed but must be kept in your locker out of sight with volume
off. Students are allowed to check them before and after school. No picture
taking without permission.
Substitute Teachers
When a substitute teacher is needed, you will take on extra responsibility
for making sure the day goes well and everyone has a good day.
Class Supplies
All class supplies (crayons, scissors, etc.) will be kept on the top shelf of
your locker.

1. Be prepared
