Day 7: What are the procedures the teacher uses to make everything run smoothly in the class?

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

When I come in the morning, the students are always reading their books to themselves.  Throughout that time she calls a group of students to read with.  With that group she gives the students the same book to read and has them follow read out loud all at once. At the same time the other students are quietly reading to themselves.  This is a procedure the teacher always follows so that the students know that when they come in the morning they will be reading.  If she were to not do this then the students might misbehave or be a little more rowdy.  Another procedure that the teacher follows is when the rest of the class comes she has them sit on the rug.   After they listen to the daily announcements she has them stand up and say the pledge of alligence.  Then she has the one of the students help change the calendar, how many days they have been in school, what is the weather that day, and share one thing about themselves with the class. (It is different everyday so that every student has the opportunity to help) 

One of the procedures that the teacher uses is when they come in the room to start the day,  they have to put their lunch box in a big container that the students later carries during lunchtime.  They take their home reading and put in the container.  Because she taught them what to do they don't have to ask where they have to put their home reading away.  Becuase of the procedures that the teacher uses I feel that she has a more smoother running class.  The students know what to expect and when the different activities will happen.  They behave well and know can follow the procedures after she has explains them.
