Classroom Procedures/Expectation

 

Procedures are a part of life. We follow procedures when looking up information on the Internet or when approaching a traffic light. The reason for having procedures in life is so society can function properly in an orderly manner. There are also procedures in this classroom. We have procedures in the classroom so every student feels comfortable and we can have an environment in which everyone can learn and succeed.
