Classroom Expectations and Routines Ms. Herl 7th Grade Washington State History, Ancient World History and Literature Rm A215 First, your teacher………………. What kind of music does Ms. Herl prefer? Who is Ms. Herl’s favorite actor? What is Ms. Herl’s favorite food? How many children does Ms. Herl have? Who is Logan? What is Ms. Herl’s “Happiest Place on Earth”? What date in December is extremely exciting for Ms. Herl? Expectations One Rule: No one has the right to interfere with the education, safety or well-being of others. Simple Expectations You can expect Ms. Herl to believe in each student, do what is expected and to do her best, and smile. Always bring your planner to class. Your planner is your ticket to get a drink and use the restroom. Treasure it. If you need to throw something away, sharpen your pencil, or leave your seat for any reason, you must make sure NO ONE is addressing the class, students, creatures and teachers alike. IN THE CLASSROOM: How will the first FIVE minutes of class start each day? Students will: Copy into their planners the brief AGENDA and possible homework for the day from the front whiteboard. If needed, check the MONTHLY AGENDA/PLANNER BOARD in the front of the room for any assignments he/she may have missed due to absence, lost memory, or a temporary brain freeze. Turn in homework unless Ms. Herl has instructed otherwise Individually, tackle a daily entry task or “ET” to the best of their ability. The “ET” will always be located on the front whiteboard or displayed on the overhead projector. Entry Tasks may be quizzes, practice, journal writes, etc. NOTE: Late/absent work needs to be turned into the late box on the file cabinet by Ms. Herl’s desk. Write ABSENT or LATE on your work. Absent? You are responsible for missed work, not Mom or Dad, your best buddy, or the homework fairy (Ms. Herl). Options for getting missed work are: Call a buddy from class and/or check Ms. Herl’s website When you return to class, check the Monthly Agenda/Planner Board in the front of the room for daily, weekly, and sometimes, monthly due dates and assignments. Check the student center folders (back of room: STUDENT CENTER) for worksheets or assignments that were handed out when you were absent. Finally, if all of the above has failed, ask Ms. Herl during the appropriate time (before or after school, during class work time) if you have any questions or need help. What do I need to bring to class everyday?

Students will be required to have something to work on when it is independent study hall. At times, study hall will be used for any teacher/student tutoring, quiz/test make-ups, re-teaching moments, and reflecting on the weeks learning target/unit essential questions. How do I get permission to leave the room? Your planner is your ticket to leaving the room. It must be filled out before you gain a signature from Ms. Herl. If you wish to go to the office, another teachers room, or for any reason to leave the room, your planner must be signed and ok’d by the teacher. In no way, should you interrupt the teaching or learning taking place in the classroom when you are asking permission to leave the room.
