7. Rule #2 Raise your hand when you have something to say or if you need to leave your seat. Wait to be called on and don’t blurt out. Stay in your seat unless you have permission to get up.

8. Rule #3 Listen while others are talking. Listen to your teacher and other students when they are talking. You never know when you might miss out on something important.

9. Rule #4 Make smart choices! Complete all your work on time. Use your class time wisely. Don’t cheat – do your own work. Don’t lie or steal.

10. Rule #5 Respect Everyone! Don’t borrow things without asking. Don’t talk about other students or teachers. Be polite and helpful to your fellow students!

11. Rule #6 Keep your dear teacher happy! I am happy when all my students are learning and enjoying science class! I am not happy when someone makes it difficult for other students to learn. I am very unhappy when students lie, cheat, or steal.

12. Papers ~ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 If I say “Papers” and start counting, You need to put your papers in one pile at your table before I get to 5. Class helpers need to collect the papers.

13. Teach ~ Okay If I say “Teach”, you say “Okay”. Turn to someone in your group and tell him/her what we just discussed in your own words. You can also ask questions about the material. Take turns teaching and listening!

14. Hands & Eyes If I say “Hands & Eyes”, you need to put down your pencil, look at me, and get ready to listen. No talking!

15. Got It? If I ask “Got it?”, you need to show me how well you understand what we are discussing. Thumbs up? Thumbs down? In the middle?

16. Have a wonderful year! Mrs. Mull
