Course Objective:
Students will be taught according to the 6th Grade Science and Mathematics California Content Standards. The standards for all subjects can be found at: www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/
Here is a description of our classroom procedures, rules, consequences, and expectations. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
When You Enter the Room:
1. Come in quietly.
2. Unpack your backpack quickly and get out your supplies.
3. Begin the warm-up assignment.
Sharpening Your Pencil:
Only quiet handheld sharpeners WITH a lid are allowed in class. This is to keep our classroom floors clean and free of pencil shavings and streaks from pencil leads. If I see you using a sharpener in class without a lid I will throw it away. Please be sure to empty your sharpener each day because you will not be allowed to get up in the middle of class to empty your sharpener.
When I Need Your Attention:
1. I will ask you to give me five. This means 1-eyes on me, 2-hands free, 3-mouths closed, 4-bodies still, and 5-ears listening.
OR
2. If the class is working too loudly, I will raise my hand. When you see this, you need to raise your hand as well and wait for the rest of the class to follow.
Bathroom:
You are expected to go at nutrition, lunch, and in between classes. You will only be allowed to use two bathroom passes each semester. I will ask you to bring your agenda to me, opened to page
R-10, for me to sign before I allow you to go. If you use a bathroom pass you may still be required to make up time during lunch or nutrition if you missed something important. If you have already used your two bathroom passes and you need to go again you will need to serve 10 minutes with me after
