SCIENCE ROOM 136 I thought I would layout my class expectations so students and parents get a clear idea of what happens in my class. Please know that my lesson plans change for fire drills, school closing, state testing, picture day, assemblies, etc. I try to keep on a schedule because it produces a better learning environment.

 Bell Work- (BW) This assignment is done during the first 5-7 minutes of the day. This creates a quiet entrance into the room and allows me to greet students and take attendance each period. BW should be completed during the first 5-7 minutes of class and if not completed as homework. Examples of BW
 * 1) 1. SP – Science Pack which is a review of vocabulary lined up with our learning
 * 2) 2. Foldable- Created to enhance vocabulary, make connections (attached to left side journal pages)
 * 3) 3. Graphic Organizer- (Journal Left side)

 Classwork During class, students are required to read along and take notes in class. Our class reads non-fiction for information. As a class, we dissect each paragraph and find the important information to include in our Cornell notes. Cornell notes are made up of three parts: Notes, Summary and 3 questions. Students are asked to write their summary at the end of each day’s notes (Exit Ticket). The three questions are put to the left of the Cornell notes and are “teacher” questions that can be answered using the notes taken that day in class. Three questions can be done during class end or as homework.

 Homework- This changes, but may include SP worksheets, worksheets, foldable, study for test or quiz and create 3 questions using the daily notes

 Quizzes/Test- I will strive to have them on Wednesday or Friday. WEBSITE- Still need help. Check out my Website. I have several links that will help with learning; Quizlet, Songs, videos

 Head Middle Magnet school will create a culture in which the academics and social foundations of all students are built and fostered beyond district and state expectations.
