If you have to be gone, make sure you stop by the office when you get back for your homework!
Missing assignments are your responsibility!!
Check the absent board in the back of the room for handouts, quizzes that don’t go to the office.

5. Homework
Be prepared with materials
Social Studies Book
3 subject notebook (stays here)
Assignment book
Pencil
Red checking pen
All assignments need to be turned in on time with a 65% or above.
Failing to do so will be a work contact and will affect your color level the next week.

7. Assignment Book
Your assignment book is your pass to the restroom, locker, nurse, office, etc.
By filling your assignment book out hourly it becomes an important tool for your success!
This way you will always know when your projects and test are due.
It is a great way for parents to know what is going on at school.
We record your grades on your passcard the last day of every week.
It will also contain your color level. If you lose your assignment book it will affect your color level.
***We will discuss the leveling system in detail soon***

9. Procedures I will meet you at the door everyday.
I might be in the classroom or in the hall, please do not enter my room without permission from me.
Good leaders look people in the eye and speak. So when you enter my room make eye contact and speak.
Then give me a high five, knuckles, elbows, hand shake, or something!
Go to your seat
Fill out your assignment book.
Get out your journal and start writing.
The journal prompt will always be on the smart board or white board.
We will discuss journal expectations another day soon!
At this time our class leaders will take care of their jobs.

10. Grades All grades are percentages Points are based on:
10%Daily work (Journal & Effort)
15% Homework
20% Quizzes
25% Projects
30% Assessments (Tests & Projects)
The Grading Scale is the same for all MMS students.
The scale can be found in the assignment book and posted around the room.

11. Fire-Tornado-Intruder
Out the door and down the stairs and out the door. We will go towards the practice field.
Tornado:
Down the stairs and into the 5th grade wing and will take cover outside the Social Studies classroom.
Intruder:
We will shut and barricade the door.
Get away from the door and huddle together in the corner.
It is ok to fight if they come into this room!
Don’t Panic!!!
