Class requirements:
My
Expectations
- I expect
to give my very best to make Social Studies class interesting and
stimulating. In return, I expect nothing less than the best effort from
my students. This effort includes attendance, preparation for class,
listening and following directions, class participation, and completing
any assigned work on time
Students
Rights
- As a
student, it is your right and privilege to learn without distraction.
No one has the right to violate another person’s right to learn. Please
show consideration and respect to others.
Teacher’s
Rights
- I have
earned a license to teach and no student may interfere with my right to
do my job.
Class
requirements:
- Bring your
folder, a spiral notebook, and something to write with to class.
- Something
to write with means a pencil and a pen. An erasable pen is best! You
need both available in class each day!
- A
spiral notebook with lined paper for writing assignments.
- A "folder"
means a folder in which all notes, assignments, quizzes, and tests are
kept in an organized way. The folders with “pockets” are best.
- Bring your
Assignment Book to class everyday!
- Be on on
time, prepared, and ready to learn from the beginning to the end of
class.
- Raise your
hand when you wish to speak and wait to be called upon.
- Listen to
others with courtesy and respect. I will do the same.
- Treat
others as you would like to be treated!
- Cell
Phones and iPods are NOT PERMITTED in Social Studies class. In room
301, the teacher will provide the soundtrack to Social Studies class
- GRADING
SYSTEM (as directed by our Board of Education)
- Tests,
reports, on going class activities, and projects are considered as
Major Assessments.
- Quizzes,
daily classwork, and short term activities are considered as Minor
Assignments.
- Any
assigned activity such as reading your textbook to be completed to
supplement the learning process outside the classroom is considered as
homework.
- If
YOU’RE ABSENT, or are not in class for any reason, you must be
