done during free time, recess, after school, or before school. Some makeup work
may be completed at home and returned.
Library – When
it is our turn to visit the library, we will be quiet and respectful to the
librarian. Follow the librarian’s rules of the library. Pick a book that you
can read. Use the sentence rule (turn to a random page and read a sentence; if
you can read it then you’ve got yourself a book!)

quiet and listen to all of the announcements. Stand and participate during the
