Class Schedule

Procedure for Beginning Class

• Find your assigned seat (posted on the computer room door every Monday)

• Get out all necessary class materials (pencil, highlighter, book, folder—then you’ll have no need to go in your backpack until after class

• Place backpacks in designated areas.

• Put homework in shelf (if applicable)

• Begin assignment on marker board

BE READY WHEN THE BELL RINGS!!

Therefore, it is important to get ready for class while you socialize.

This way, when the bell rings, you will be ready to work.

(If you have an admit or any make-up work, please put it in the designated

place by my computer before class starts.)

Turning in Homework

• Upon entering the classroom, immediately get out your homework and place it in the appropriate shelf.

• Be sure that you have your name, the date, and the page # or assignment purpose in the upper right corner.  (See Procedure for heading papers)

• No homework will be accepted after I remove the papers from the shelf.

• No homework will be accepted if you are working on it after the bell.

Getting Your Attention

At any time during any activity, if you hear me:

Whistle

or say

Faites Attention

("pay attention")

or

Écoutez s'il vous plaît

("listen please")

please stop what you are doing

and quietly look at me.

Merci!

(thanks)

Prénom, Nom de Famille

Date

Page #/Assignment

The above is an example of the paper headings that you will use on all papers.

(I will from time to time assign a grade for simply having the proper heading on all your papers.  This is an easy A if you will make this a habit.)

Merci!

Tardies

• If you come in tardy, quietly put your admit or pass in the basket, take your seat and begin the task the class is on.

• (You all know the procedure for beginning class, so you shouldn’t have to ask too many questions about what we’re doing.)

• If you have a question, raise your hand and I will help you.

• There is not need to disturb someone else.

• Please be advised that tardiness will be damaging to your grade, as you will receive a grade for reciting the pledge…in French.

Classroom Conversation

• Please raise your hand if you would like to ask a question or make a comment unless you are responding to a question that I have asked of the class.

• Remember that all comments will be of a positive and encouraging nature, and will pertain to the conversation at hand.

Merci!

Procedure for Taking a Test

• During testing, I ask that you stay seated and quiet until the last test has been turned in.

• When you have a question or are finished, please raise your hand and I will come to you.  This will help to keep everyone focused and will limit any disturbances.

• Remember:  the first person done does not indicate how well they know the information, only that they are in a hurry. 

• Always check your work.

Getting Make-Up Work

• Look in the folder for the previous days’ assignments.  Be sure to write down the information.

• Ask for clarification if you have any questions.

• Also, check the folder for any handouts that you may have missed.

• Schedule a time to take your test, if one was missed.

• See me for sign up sheet.

• You MUST sign up before you come in so that I will know to be here.

• Remember:  You have 5 days to make up any work.  I will not ask you for it, so you must be responsible with your time and use a good work ethic.  No late assignments are accepted!

• If you have been absent, please come to class early so that you will have time to look in the make-up folder BEFORE class.  This will help to keep you from feeling so lost when class begins.

Procedure for Dismissal

Do not close books, folders, etc. until you are instructed to do so.

Please wait for me to say

“Cherchez Vos Affaires”

(Get Your Stuff)

At this time, you may get your things, pack up,

clean around your desk,

and then wait in your seat until the bell rings (if it hasn’t already).

To ask permission to pack up when we are done with class:

Puis-je chercher mes affaires?

(May I get my stuff?)

Pourrions-nous chercher nos affaires?

(May we get our stuff?)
