ENTRANCE Make sure you have all necessary materials for the class. Enter the classroom quietly. Go directly to your assigned seat. Get ready for your work.

Beginning of Class Immediately start the warm up that will be written on the board or on the screen. Do the warm up on your warm up sheet. When you finish, wait quietly for the next direction or study.

DURING INSTRUCTION Listen to the teacher with full attention. No talking or whispering. Ask permission to speak by raising your hand. Ask questions related to the subject. Other questions which are not related to the subject can be asked after instruction. After instruction, make sure you understand the concept. If not, ask questions by mentioning which part you didn’t understand.

WHILE YOU ARE WORKING Make sure you read or listen to the directions about your work and understand them. If you didn’t understand, ask help from other students sitting around you. If they also don’t understand, ask to the teacher to explain it. Talking to each other should be no louder than a whisper. The person sitting on the other side of the room should not be interrupted by your noise. Use your time wisely. Put forth your best effort to finish your work on time.

KEEPING YOUR NOTEBOOK You should have a science spiral notebook which will be used for only your science class. Use blue or black ink pen or pencil to write in your spiral notebook. Number the pages in the right corner. Always write the titles of assignments. Keep your spiral notebook clean and organized. The spiral will stay in the classroom.

IF THE TEACHER RAISES HER HAND Stop whatever you are doing at that moment. Face the teacher and wait silently. Notify any classmates who haven’t noticed that the teacher has raised her hand. No talking or whispering. All of your attention should be given to the teacher.

AFTER YOU ARE DONE Check your work and the directions one more time to see if you missed anything or did something incorrectly. If the assignment is to be turned in, do so.

DISMISSAL Clean your work area and take all garbage to the trash can. Wait for Ms. Porter to dismiss you. After you get permission to leave, push in your chair and leave quietly. If it is the last period of the day, stack the chairs on top of the table.

CLASS WEBSITE Please make sure that you check on my website weekly for new assignments. I will also post extra copies of the classwork and study guides on the website. http://PorterScienceRosePark.weebly.com

WHEN YOU ARE TARDY If you don’t already have a pass, go to the main office to get a pass. Sign the Tardy Sheet near the door. You will not be excused from any work you missed. Get the assignment from a classmate and do it at home.

WHEN YOU ARE ABSENT Get the assignments from your classmates and the worksheet from Ms. Porter. Do the work at home. If you missed a test because of your excused absence, inform Ms. Porter and arrange a time to make up the test after school, before school, or during the day. You will not be able to make up any work if you have an unexcused absence. You will get a “I” for those assignments.

CLASSROOM RULES Respect yourself and others always. School-wide classroom rules are posted on the wall: Respect yourself and others always. Have all materials everyday. (Be Prepared!) Be in your seat when the bell rings.
