Week 7

What are the procedures the teacher uses to make everything run smoothly in the class?

I haven't been in Mrs. Hutchinson's class long enough to notice any specific rules or procedures, but I have noticed a few unspoken rules. Maybe they aren't unspoken, but she possibly went over them at the beginning of the year. I'm surprised she doesn't have a poster hanging up in her classroom that indicates the major rules in her classroom which most teachers have in their own classroom.
One thing I noticed is that the students don't ask to get a drink; they just get up and go. But they do have to write their name on a specific area of the white board if they need to use the restroom, then she will excuse whoever's name is on the board when she deems it the right time. Another procedure I mentioned before is that the students have their white boards out and write out the same math problems the Mrs. Hutchinson writes on the board, but they only copy what is written in green.
Other than that, I haven't noticed any other procedures. I have been testing the students one-on-one on the Utah counties. It's been a long process. The students get three tries to name all of the counties. Today was the second time around and many of them were only able to name one or two more counties than the first try. They told me that their teacher didn't teach them the county song or gave them a list to look at. They just have the floats in the library that they made to look at.
