The answer is….
• Today, your 1st day, you may sit where
you want.
• Tomorrow, I will fill-in a place for you on
the seating chart.
• You MAY STAY in the seat you like as
long as you BEHAVE where you sit –
otherwise I will have to move you.
• Please do not move the chairs – I like
them where they are.
The answer is….
• There will be a classroom set of books
– great – but let’s take care of them.
• Yes, you need to look at the Student
Lesson Calendar on my site to see
what future class agenda’s are.
The answer is….
• No – we will not dissect anything this year –
unless you want to volunteer, bring in your
favorite pet, friend, brother, sister – etc.
• Yes - you WILL have homework, but not on
weekends (well…. mostly).
• Nope – I am not mean (really!) – I just want
you to be a good student so I can be a good
teacher! But, I do kid around – so beware!
The answer is….
• Yes - discipline is EASY – just act like your
parents are in the room – or they just might
be in class with you some day!
• Of course, you may talk - when “I” am NOT
talking!
• Fact - did you know that it is almost
impossible to speak and listen at the same
time? One has to stop while the other occurs
- look it up!
• Remember, the greatest compliment you can
give to someone is to listen to them!
The answer is….
• Yes - I follow the dress code – so will
you. When I don’t, you won’t have to.
• No gum, or candy, any of that stuff.
Breath mints are allowed, just let me
know so I won’t get after you - because
I might think you are eating food - or
chewing gum - or talking to yourself or just being weird!
The answer is….
• Planners are extra credit this year. It can be
a good way to improve your grade. So keep
yours clean and filled in – and with you.
• You should use your planner – it is a good
tool. Also, there are NO LATE Assignments –
unless you are absent - so it will help you
keep organized. Your assignments can be
found at my website, http://mrcard.org. - click
on Student Lesson Calendar.
Things to remember….
• You leave for lunch at the middle of 9th period – after
the every ‘silver’ day - except early out days!
• You are allowed to have one “free” tardy a six weeks
in my - then its detention time after school, in here,
with me – from 2:50 to 3:20 - ugh!
• You are tardy after 7:50a.m.. No free tardies 1st
period, the office will assign detention.
• Did you know 3 tardies equal one absence day?
• I will have after school detention and study hall. You
can to if you really, really want to - really!
The answer is….
• You got it! You leave the classroom when “I”
dismiss you, not when the bell rings –
sssssloooowwww down.
• DO NOT RUN IN THE HALLS - EVER!
If I catch you, you leave my class last EVERYDAY!
• Yes - you may get ready to go when you are
finished with ALL of your work, or when the
bell rings.
• Please, be sure you pick up all of your stuff!
You need to know this….
Yes - you WILL use computers in this class. These
computers have games on them, but they are
intended to complete assignments on. Work gets
done first – games are a privelege and after I give
permission only!
