Know Students Names

First and foremost... know students names.
Create ways to learn names FAST:
- assigned seats
- seating chart
- name tents- require that students put them up daily for 2 weeks

Picture
Example:

Rule 1. Be Respectful
Rule 2. Be Responsible
Rule 3. Be Honest

Notice how countless expectations could land under these rules. For example, bringing their Chromebook could land under Be Responsible. Cursing at a classmate could land under be respectful.

Suggestions:

Opening Activities
- assigned seats/create a seating chart so they know their seat
- students should begin their warm-up immediately
- take out materials immediately
- put away phones
- one earbud in


End Routine
- students should complete a CLOSURE/exit ticket (MUHSD Must Have)
- stay seated until the bell rings (fire hazard to stand by door, and kids might sneak out)

Reminder: The BCHS expectation is to teach bell-to-bell.
Tips to stretch your lesson bell-to-bell:
- establish expectations: announce that students MUST sit at their desks until the bell rings
- ensure you have a CLOSURE
- ask students to pair-share their closure
- review the learning target to have students reflect if they met the target
- announce the plan for the next day, and require students sit during the announcement
- take notes on how long activities take so you don't have big time gaps

Loaners

- you are allowed to check-out loaners for your classroom- see library staff to check them out!
