class has started, you may not use the
electrical sharpener, only the manual
ones.
Seating
• You have been assigned a seat. You
are to remain in this seat unless
otherwise directed. Part of being in
school is learning to get along with
everyone, even people we don’t like. If
you are not in your seat you will be
marked absent.

What is Think, Pair, Share?
• Think-Pair-Share is a learning strategy that students
can use to share ideas and promote participation
• Step 1- A question is asked
• Step 2- I give you and a partner next to you 30
seconds to respond with their answer. Write down
the information as the partner is speaking.
• Step 3-The next partner gets 30 seconds to respond
and record.
• Step 4-The answers will be shared by the class. You
write down any information that you don’t have.
Students are chosen at random
• I will choose students randomly.
• You should always be prepared to respond or
read in my class. Pay attention at all times and
make sure to follow along with the reading.
Homework
• All homework is due on the due date
• Homework will consist of Reading logs.
You must read 30 minutes each day and fill
out your reading log.
• Other homework assignments in language
arts and Social Studies will also be sent
home.
Materials
• ANY materials or manipulative that Mr.
Ochoa allows you to borrow MUST
ALWAYS remain in the classroom. If you
need a pencil you will trade me your ID card
until the end of class. These materials are
not yours, but have only been lent to you to
assist you in your classroom assignment.
Class work
• The teacher will tell you when to turn
in your class work. When turning in
your class work QUIETLY wait for
the class leaders to pick up your work.
This is not a time to start talking.
Begin cleaning up your area.
Exit cards or work
• Most days you will have to turn in an exit
card (which will be written on a sticky note,
piece of paper, or index card. Or, you will
have to turn in class work at the end of the
period).
Absent Work
• It’s the students responsibility to get
their missing work.
• You can also look on the website to
obtain assignments.
School Website
• Go to http://www.mountainviewms.org/
• Go to teachers and search for Mr. Ochoa
• Look at each class page Language Arts and Social
Studies to find PowerPoint presentations, facts,
due dates, and current stories.
Textbooks
• The textbooks belong to the Moreno Valley
Unified School District and very expensive.
Therefore, they are to be handled with care.
Damaging, misusing, or improperly
handling the textbook(s) will result in
serious consequences, including suspension
and expulsion. If at any time you find that a
book has been damaged IMMEDIATELY
alert the teacher.
Group Work
• Group work is to be done in a quiet
manner with a 6-inch voice.
Groups are a team and everyone
works together. Group work is
graded on both individual and
group effort. If you can not do group
work, you will work on another
assignment on your own.
Substitute/guest Teachers
• If at any time there is a
substitute/guest teacher present you
need to be on your best behavior.
Failure to cooperate will result in
consequences, while cooperation will
result in rewards.
Visitors

with respect! You MUST follow all
classroom procedures as expected of
you on a daily basis! If the teacher is
conversing with the visitor remain
COMPLETELY QUIET until
otherwise directed.

not given freely! I respect you, you
respect me. You respect others, they
