Classroom Routines

Matrix - a grid with the school rules in the leftmost column and classroom routines (getting attention, entereing the classroom, pencil sharpening, etc.) in top row. Put examples of expected behaviors for each rule and routine in the intersections. Much like the school-wide matrix but narrowed to the classroom. Use the matrix as a basis for teaching the routines to students.
