 Bring Agenda to class every day!  You will write your passwords in here!  You will write any homework that’s assigned in here!  Keep the agenda in your book bag!

 The classroom Bill of Rights is simple.  “The teacher has the right to teach and students have the right to learn. Everyone will respect these rights.”  Simply put, any actions that interfere with teaching and learning are unacceptable.  Students are expected to adhere to the Student Code of Conduct as well as these classroom expectations:

 Have materials out, have pencils sharpened, and be seated before the tardy bell rings.  If there is an assignment on the board or overhead, begin before being told to do so.  We will do bellwork each day. Be ready immediately at the bell.

 Bring all materials to class for each day. If you need to borrow a pen or paper, do so before class begins.

 The “Golden Rule is my motto: do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.  Follow all class and school rules.  Do not talk while I am teaching or giving instructions. If you have something to share, wait until you are acknowledged and then share.  When doing class work, work quietly and mindful of others.  Take care of classroom materials.

 Do all your class work and turn it in on time.  If you are absent, be sure to check the while you were absent file, learn what you missed, and complete any assignments by the timeline given. (This includes updating your Interactive Science Notebook!) Ask a neighbor!

 Know where your materials are.  Know what you need to do.  Present your work legible and neatly.

1. Do your best in everything. 2. Try your hardest. 3. Aim for success. 4. Get involved and ask questions

 Homework is not assigned on a daily basis. A lot of times you will just have to review or study notes.  You will be given a username and password to log onto our Science curriculum online. I strongly encourage this type of review regularly if we are using the book.  Assignments will be in your “To do” list after you log in.  You will earn extra credit by logging and completing activities.

1. Come in quietly. 2. Sit down. 3. Take out any materials you need for class. 4. Open agenda, write the daily objective and homework for the day. 5. Begin bell work on designated notebook page immediately. 6. During the beginning of class there is no talking.

 Turn your paper in on top of the cubby in the correct box for your class.  Use a highlighter by the box to highlight your name.  Most papers will be glued into your science Notebook onto a certain page once I return them to you.  We will go over Notebook procedures in another PowerPoint.

 If you need to sharpen your pencil, hold up your pencil.  If I nod or say yes, go to the sharpener.  At the sharpener, even though it is tempting, do not talk.  Quickly & quietly go back to your seat. It is not a social tour.

 Try to go between classes, at recess/lunch, before school, after P.E.  You cannot use the bathroom the first & last 15 minutes of class or during a lecture.  If we are working on an activity or seat work, raise your hand with fingers criss-crossed.  I will need to check your out of class pass and mark that you used 1.  Return to class promptly.

 We will learn a lot about science.  Make every effort to do what’s expected!  We will have fun!  We will do several labs in class as well as outside.  We will write procedures in our ISN’s!!!!
