Class begins the moment you enter classroom. You should immediately take out Accelerated Reading book and reading log and then begin reading.

If a student needs to sharpen his or her pencil, student will quietly raise pencil in the air upon arrival. Teacher or an assigned student will collect pencils and then return them back to student once it is sharpened. All pencils must be sharpened within the first 10 minutes of class. No exceptions! A maximum of two pencils per student will be sharpened daily. I strongly suggest that you have a portable pencil sharpener at your desk.

13 Classroom Expectations:
Know how “far” you can go with each one of your teachers and classmates. Every behavior is not tolerated from one class to the next, every student is different.

14 Classroom Expectations:
Absolutely no eating in class unless it is given to you as a reward by teacher. The only permitted item to drink in class is a bottle of water. No concealed cups are permitted. If an issue arise, student’s privilege will be taken away. Keep in mind you only have one hallway pass per week.

15 Classroom Expectations:
The classroom should be kept neat and clean at all times. No messy areas. Check around your desk periodically to make sure no paper or pencils are on the floor. Make sure your book sack is placed neatly on the back of your chair. Only clean groups will be dismissed at the ringing of the bell.

The quality of the work is where the grade comes from not just turning in the assignment. Absolutely no cheating! All work must be turned in on time; however, situations do arise.
