Homeroom: Create your little representation. On the little person leave the head blank, except for your name, because your picture will go there. On the rest of the body draw or write things that interest you or represent you. See Mrs. Jackson’s for an example. Have fun!.

Homeroom: Create your little representation • On the little person leave the head blank, except for your name, because your picture will go there. • On the rest of the body draw or write things that interest you or represent you. See Mrs. Jackson’s for an example. • Have fun!
What happens in this class?? • We learn to think like ‘historians’! • We investigate and study historical documents! • We form opinions and support them with historical evidence! • We follow classroom procedures so that we can learn and have fun at the same time!
Classroom Procedures • Come into class and sit in your assigned seat. • Look on the board or smart board for your WARM UP task…and complete it immediately (usually in your notebook). • Copy homework, due dates, etc. into your agenda. • Sit quietly and/or read if you finish the warm up early. • Always bring a book to read to class.
General Classroom Procedures • Notes: You WILL take notes in this class. We do not have a ‘text book’ so it’s important to take all notes and keep up with them. • Notes can be taken in a spiral notebook during NBI OR on notebook paper in class with the date added each timebut must be kept in a notebook. • Graded papers need to be put into your notebook . This will help with summative assessments, Benchmarks and the CRCT. • Papers are normally turned into to me directly. DO NOT PLACE THEM ON MY DESK! Make sure that your NAME & CLASS PERIOD are written on the paper.
My Teacher Website • www.teacherweb.com and search for East Paulding Middle School and then select my name. • Check the website for homework, handouts, power points, SYLLABUS and other important Social Studies information. • You can sign up to have it send you emails or text messages when it’s updated by me (RSS feed).
RAIDER RETAKES: • You may only ask to RETAKE A SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT. • All class work must be completed before a retake will be given.
Raider Retake Procedures • YOU ask for a retake within 5 days of getting a graded SUMMATIVE assessment. • All class work must be completed before you retake the test. • SCHEDULE the RETAKE…most likely during NBI NBI/HOMEROOM • THIS IS A SCHOOL WIDE SYSTEM • Unless there are unusual circumstances, like an extended illness or family emergency, there will be NO exceptions.
Summer Reading Assignment • Advanced Classes must have their book read and the summer reading ‘project’ completed by Friday, August 31st. • You can turn it in any time before the due date.
