a light change.

If you need to go to the restroom during

emergency.
If you need to sharpen your pencil during
independent or group work time, you may
quietly get up and use the pencil
sharpener. There should only be ONE
student at the sharpener at a time.
If your pencil breaks while I am talking,
raise your hand and wait to be called on.
If you need a tissue at any point during the
day, you may quietly get up and get one.
Do not distract others while doing this.
