“PUNCH” CARD

• Every 5 “punches” equals 1 lunch detention
• Less than 10 punches at the end of the month
equals admission to the end-of-the-month
reward party/movie!!
Pencils/Paper
• Pencils should be sharpened within the first 5 minutes of
class. (This is the only time that the electric sharpener can
be used)
• If your pencil breaks, after the first five minutes of class,
quietly get up and get a pencil sharpener from the bucket
and sharpen it at your desk. When you are done you can
quietly return the sharpener to the bucket. Every student
should start out the day with 3 sharpened pencils to keep
from having to sharpen pencils during instruction!
• On every assignment, your heading should have:
– Name
#
– Date
• Headings should go on the upper right hand corner of
your papers
Class Procedures:
Entering the Classroom
• Be ON TIME!
• Be SEATED, SILENT, and ON TASK
as quickly as possible!
• Sharpen pencils within the first 5
minutes of class.
Classroom Procedures:
During Class
• If you need something or have a question, raise
your hand.
• If you need to use the bathroom, use the
following signal:
• Bathroom breaks during
instructional time should
only be in case of an emergency!
• Students must sign out when they leave to use
the bathroom and must sign back in when they
return. Planners will also be signed and used as
their hall pass.
Classroom Procedures:
Questions and Answers
• Raise your hand QUIETLY
• Think time
• When someone is called on, put your
hand down and actively listen to what
is said
Classroom Procedures:

so

arms at your side

Class Procedures:
Leaving Class
• Make sure your area is clean and tidy.

planner.
• During dismissal time listen for your name to be
dismissed to your lockers.
• Students are not to leave the classroom until I
dismiss you!!
Bell Work
• Bell work is to be done within the first 10
minutes of class.
• ELA bell work consists of the Daily Language
Review (DLR). Each student will be given a DLR
on Monday, with their bell work for M-TH.
Every Friday, there will be a short 10 point quiz
based on the M-TH DLRs.
• Social Studies bell work may be up on the
Smart Board.
Homework
• Homework will be listed on the board daily.
• Turn it in on time!
– Due dates will be listed with each
assignment.
– Homework is due on the due date! However,
I will accept late assignments for half credit.
Accelerated Reader (AR)
• Each student will be expected to read an
independent book nightly as part of their ELA
homework. This time will increase per quarter.
You will also have a weekly journal response due
and a project per quarter.
• Once you finish a book you will take the AR
book quiz for that book.
• Each student will have a personal point goal.
This goal will also increase per quarter. The
progress you make towards that goal per
quarter will translate to your AR grade for that
quarter. You are responsible for
keeping track of your progress by filling out
your log sheet!
If You Are Absent
• As soon as you return, check the
hanging Absent folder to get your
missing assignments.
• You will have one day per absence to
make up the work that you missed.
• Look over the assignments before
you leave class so that you can ask
me any questions you may have.

100% - 93% = A

Academic Integrity
(Honesty in Learning Policy):
• Students are expected to maintain
academic integrity. There should never be
any plagiarism, cheating, or any other type
of academic dishonesty. All potential
cases of academic dishonesty will be
settled by notifying administrators,
notifying the parents of all students
involved, and the student(s) will be given a
zero for the assignment. There are NO
EXCEPTIONS!!!
