Class Policies Come to class on time!!! Be in your assigned seat and prepared to work when the bell rings. Pay Attention!!! Follow directions the first time given. Talk only when permitted!!! Raise your hand and wait to be recognized before speaking. Abstain from eating, drinking, chewing and grooming in our classroom!!! Respect the rights and property of others!!! Remain in your assigned seat unless you have permission to get up!!! No Cheating!!! Any interaction during a test will be assumed to be cheating. Your test will be taken away and you will be given a zero. I will be collecting cell phones on test days. Plagiarism is cheating too. When doing research, always reference your sources.

Class Procedures Every day, bring with you to class your binder/folder with all class handouts your interactive science notebook a pen and pencil Highlighters/tape/glue/colored pencils When you arrive in class, please read the instructions on the board. Then you will know what activities are planned and what your responsibility is. Hand in all homework in class, the day it is due. Be sure your name is on it so that you receive credit. Most days I will have a “do now” activity on the projector. You are expected to complete this activity quietly in your seats as soon as you get to class.

Class Procedures If you have a question during a lecture, please raise your hand. This is the polite way to ask a question. When I am presenting a lesson, please do not talk. It is extremely rude to talk when the teacher is teaching. If you need to go to the restroom during class, raise your hand for permission and take a hall pass. Only 1 student at a time.

Class Procedures If we have a fire drill or building evacuation, stay with your class and teacher. Then I will know you are safe. When we go to the library, computer rooms, be respectful. If you are with a teacher or administrator, have them write you a note if you will be late for class. Then you will be excused for being late.

Class Procedures After a lab or activity, you must clean up after yourself and your group. Points will be deducted if you leave a mess for me to clean up!!! I will be presenting PowerPoint lectures for each unit and assigning activities/labs: You need to bring your interactive science notebook (ISN) to class with you every day You will be taking Cornell notes in your ISN at home and reflecting on them You will be performing experiments and writing lab reports in your ISN
