I chose to print the pages and tape them together to make a vertical strip.

You may laminate for durability. These are posted near the door and our classroom rules and are a great visual reminder for students to stay in the habit of using non-verbal hand signals.

I explain to students that they are to use the hand signal only and NOT say the words, "Can I go to the restroom?" out loud.

If I have not seen them, they may say my name to get my attention.

At the Beginning of the Year, as students are learning this new routine, they may forget. I tell them to do it correctly, if they want me to say, "YES". Soon students will remind each other.
