2. Learning Pass (This will cover any type of group, or extra learning. (GT, Travis' Groups, Ms. Antwine's Groups, etc.) Please show sample to class.)
Review:
1. Bathroom Passes (Only 2 in the restroom at a time.) Remind students to wait outside the restroom if there are already 2 passes on the hook. Also, remind them to LEAVE the passes put if they see one on the hook. :)
