This will be made into your INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK for the year.
This notebook will only be used for math and will house all of your notes, important work examples, and practice problems for the whole year!
It’s like a PERSONALIZED TEXTBOOK we make together for math class!

5. Mrs. Lyons’s Supplies Mrs. Lyons’s Shelves
There are materials you can use, but only with permission
You may not just get up and go get things
I do not give out pencils. You must bring your own materials to class.
Mrs. Lyons’s Desk
Do not touch anything on the desk, unless you have asked and been given permission.

6. Safety Drills Fire Drill Procedure: Lockdown Drill Procedure:
Head out to parent pick up area
Line up in lines of 5, facing the mountain
NO TALKING
I will take attendance to make sure everyone is present for safety
Lockdown Drill Procedure:
Immediately head to the back of the room and sit down, close to the wall as possible
NO TALKING or MAKING NOISE until the drill is lifted
This is why phones must be off during the day

7. Allergy Aware Classroom!
We have students with various allergies in our classes and in the school
This is why food is not allowed to be eaten in class unless something has been worked out with the nurse and your parents
Also….water only in class!

8. Entering and Starting Class
Wait to be invited into the class
Come in QUIETLY in your assigned seat
Get out your materials for the day
Put your backpack under your chair or table
Fill out your agenda with the homework (or if there is no homework, write “none”)
Get started on the warm-up if there is one
If there is no warm-up, make sure your homework is out and ready to grade, with a pen!
THIS SHOULD BE A QUIET TIME

9. Information on the Board

Do all the math work in pencil, only!
Stay organized

Talking out of turn
Talking while others are talking
Not paying attention
Talking to your neighbor about non-math related topics
Getting out of your seat without permission

12. How do I leave the room properly?
Mrs. Lyons dismisses you, NOT the bell
Push in your chair, clean up your trash and WAIT to be dismissed!
And WALK to your next class 

13. Leaving the Room During Class
Not acceptable
If there is something you absolutely have to leave for, you must SIGN OUT and SIGN BACK IN on the clipboard by the door.

14. Grading NO WORK = NO CREDIT 65% Assessment (Tests and Quizzes)
35% Practice (Homework, Warm-ups, Class work)
You must show all your written work on all assignments and tests in order to get credit!
NO WORK = NO CREDIT

15. Homework Will be assigned almost every night
We will grade all homework assignments the next day in class (Bring a pen!)
You may redo any homework assignment for a better grade
This is an opportunity to fix mistakes to learn the math better!

16. Redoing Homework
f you did not get a good grade or want to do better on an assignment, you should re-do the assignment to help you better understand for the test!
You only have to re-do the problems you missed!
Staple your re-do problems to the original assignment when you turn it back in.
You may redo any homework assignment for a better grade.
You must come in for first 5 minutes of lunch and re-grade it yourself to self-assess your progress.

17. Behavior Expectations
After 4 tardies, you will receive a written office referral, and a call home.
RAISE YOUR HAND if you have a comment or question. Do not blurt out your thoughts.
See poster for other expectations (class rules)

18. Finals
In 6th grade, you will take a Semester 1 Final in December and a Semester 2 Final in May.
These will count for 10% of your overall semester grade.
They will cover everything from that semester.
This is why it is so important to keep all corrected work and tests (Study Materials) for the whole semester.

19. Homework Policy
You MUST do your homework. It is not optional for this class. IT’S A LEARNING TOOL
If something is late, you can turn it in
but you must come in at the beginning of lunch, grade it, and turn it in.
After this becomes a habit, Mrs. Lyons will take a 15% late penalty.
If you do not turn in your assignment, you will have a zero in the gradebook until it is turned in.

20. What if I am absent?

21. What if I am absent?
YOU are responsible for making up what you missed. This can be done during lunch, homeroom (with permission from teachers), or at home.
Look on my WEBSITE CALENDAR to see what you missed or BACK OF THE ROOM CALENDAR
Worksheets we did will be in the blue folders on the back table, sorted by weeks of the quarter.
You must come in at lunch or homeroom to grade the work, since you missed grading in class.
Your absent work must be turned in within 2 days of your absence.

22. Got it all????????? Good ;)
Just kidding….you probably won’t remember all of this.
That is why this PowerPoint will be on my website for you and your parents to look over in the future and review any rules of my class.
