Thank you to parents who sent in wish list items!! Tissues is something we always needs!!~ Hand sanitizer, paper, hand wipes are great!! WoW! and colored markers for the board. Thank you.
The group I saw from 1-4 appeared to be surviving. The first two weeks of Middle School are hard for mast students. It takes them a while to adjust to many new things, people, teachers, and places.
I will post on my board and a notepad the work we will do every day. The students need to copy this to their planners so you will also know what is going on in class.
The World History pre-test will be given this week. according to the schedule it will start on Tuesday and end on Wednesday. However, there is a possibility this test could be moved back a day.
The students have also been given rituals and routines. We have discussed them in class and the students know my expectations.
Rituals and Routines
1. Enter the class:
· and organize your books, supplies, and belongings on your desk.
· be seated in your assigned seat.
· and sharpen your pencil at this time.
2. Always come to class prepared with books, paper, writing utensils, and homework.
3. Homework will be listed on the board or on a large poster-size sheet in each class daily or as assigned. Assignments should be written in your planner at the end of the class period.
4. Make-up work can be found by looking at the homework sheet on the board or by asking the teacher or another student.
5. If you need to speak or get out of your seat for any reason, please raise your hand and get permission. This should only happen after the opening meeting for the class.
6. If you need to leave the class you must get permission to do so. Hall passes are a privilege and will only be granted when you are respectful and procedures are followed. Ask the teacher and have the teacher sign your planner.
7. If you need a pen/pencil, you may borrow one from your teacher or a classmate.
8. All papers should have the following heading in the upper right hand corner of the notebook paper:

10. Observe the county School
11. Remember that school starts at 8:10 a.m. You are tardy at 8:11 a.m. Be on time and in your seat for each class.
12. Please keep your voice at a moderate level. Loud talking and yelling in class or in the hallways will not be tolerated.
13. Be respectful. Remember to keep your hands to yourself. Horseplay, punching, hitting, pushing, and fighting are not allowed and will not be tolerated.
Each student needs to have a composition book for World History and a spiral one for Enrichment Class. They will keep their work and notes in these books. You may check the notebooks to see how your student is doing in my class.
