Welcome Back!

What is an expectations reteach? Expectations reteach are a benefit to both you and me. It helps us both to remember that even though we are close to the end of the year, we still have a lot of work to do and in order to do it well, we must maintain a positive working environment. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR?

Expectations... It is very important that you know exactly what I expect from you in order for you to know what to expect from me. I BELIEVE respect works both ways and in order to accomplish a positive working environment, it should work both ways. As we go through this presentation, fill out the notes. This will be similar to the contract you filled out when I first came.

Notes Taking good notes in essential to not only this class, but all those in your future. Like we have been discussing in class, you need to prepare for high school level note taking. That means, only write what is most important and you should have AT LEAST one note for every bullet on the slide.

The Rest of the Year Finish Western Expansion Industrialization Social Reform KPREP!!!

Classroom Expectations NO CELL PHONES...EVER! No food or drinks, except water. Raise your hand to speak. Only get out of your seat to sharpen your pencil or to come ask me a question. Be kind to others ALWAYS. Don’t throw things, even into the trash can. Random comments are not funny or welcome. Keep your head up off your desk. RESPECT ME AND I WILL RESPECT YOU!

Hallway Expectations LEAVING ROOM –Line up at the door at Level 0. –Wait for me to tell you to leave the room. –Travel on the right side of the hallway, single file, and at Level 0. RETURNING TO ROOM –Line up where you’ve been instructed to. –Wait for me to tell you to go. –DO NOT leave an area to return to the room without me. –Travel on the right side of the hallway (unless I tell you otherwise), single file, and at a Level 0.

Bathroom Expectations You will get 2 new bathroom passes for this quarter. Once you have used both your passes, you will not be allowed to go to the bathroom anymore. Use them WISELY!

Voice Levels Level 0: NO TALKING. (This includes whispering, humming, or sounds with your mouth or body) Level 1: WHISPER. (This means that the only people who can hear your conversation are you and the person you are talking to. This is the appropriate level for partner/group work.) Level 2: CONVERSATION LEVEL (This means you are speaking with a normal tone, such as you would to Mr. Clemmons) ANYTHING ABOUT LEVEL 2 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Tardies I realize that in this school, we often struggle to get to class on time because there are no bells. For the rest of the quarter, you will be given a tardy for being more than 1 minute late to class after the scheduled time. If your teacher keeps you late, I will call them to confirm your excuse. If you need to go somewhere for an errand, let me know FIRST.

Getting Started Each Day... When you come into the room, DO NOT SOCIALIZE! There will be a bellringer on the board, get out your notebook and get started. 3 Uncompleted Bellringers earns you a write-up. I do not ask that they are correct. They aren’t even graded. I just need to see some EFFORT!

Getting Started Each Day... Sit in your assigned seat. Get out the materials you need for class (including any completed assignments) Complete the bellringer. Remain at Level 0. This is the process you should follow each day!

Every student has a locker to store their things in. Use it and not this classroom.

DO NOT leave the room unless I tell you to do so. Leaving the room without permission (includes wandering off when traveling in the hallway), is the same as cutting class.
