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

One procedure the teacher uses is having table captains. The table captains are in charge of getting papers for their table, helping the table stay quiet, adding or subtracting table points on the board, and gathering any supplies. This helps things run smoothly because the children are not wandering around the classroom and getting distracted. The table captain is the only one allowed to leave their seat at this time. It helps things not get crazy and stay under control. Students also need to raise their hand to leave their seat. This also helps keep the control of the classroom. Students aren't constantly running around and getting out of their seat for no reason. This all helps the students stay focused and not have the opportunity to display.

The teacher also dismisses children to and from activities by their table. When they gather to the carpet, each table comes one by one. This helps the teacher keep control of the room. When the students are all transitioning at the same time, they may get distracted and stop to talk to their friend and not make it to the next activity. This also allows the kids to talk and be crazy with each other. The students are quieter when only a small group of them is moving. There isn't any craziness allowed in this class.
