groups Working in groups can be fun and very helpful Students are expected to maintain appropriate noise levels at all
times When the time comes to change groups/centers the signal will
be “Clap, Clap, Snap, Snap, Hands on Lap” Students who cannot behave themselves during group
assignments will be given an alternative assignment The alternative assignment will not be as fun as the group
assignment Groups will be decided by Mrs. Littleton and placed in a chart
inside the room Students will walk to their center, read directions, and begin
work Centers will be in progress while Mrs. Littleton meets with small
groups
