  2. About Me • Two children – son 27 years old; daughter 20 years old • Married for 30 years to Stephen Mould • Live on a farm in Liberty with two horses; two lambs; two dogs; one cat; one chinchilla; 10 chickens; and a trough of fish • Hobbies include reading, kayaking and sewing • I truly believe that consequences are resources we can use to learn from the choices we make. They can be positive or negative, depending on my outlook.

You will need a pencil in my classroom everyday. • Weekly homework: Will be posted in Edmodo. • Most personal reading will be completed OUTSIDE of class. • MOST LESSONS & ASSIGNMENTS POSTED & STORED IN THE CLASSROOM WEEKLY.

Responsibility

  8. Class Rules: When I am “here”, I . . . participate in activities in order to learn. hear the information in order to listen to knowledge. interact daily in my notebook, completing bell ringers and assignments. ask questions that lead to relevant learning or assistance. am seated in my assigned seat when the bell rings. On Time = sitting in your seat and working when the bell rings Tardy = you are not sitting in your seat; earns classroom misconduct step.
