  6. Our Classroom RESPECT is the key term for this classroom. We are each a respected part of this classroom and we must give each person respect. To earn respect you must show respect. When you come to class prepared and on time, you are showing respect. When you treat others with kindness, you are showing respect. When you use good manners, you are showing respect. So please, respect your teachers, your classmates and most importantly, respect yourself. Remember…we are a family that is respectful and that is how we will work.

  7. My Goals • To facilitate your learning to give you the academic and social skills you need to progress to and be successful in high school. • To provide a supportive, fun, and interactive classroom environment, while continuing to adhere to high expectations of you, my student, and of myself.

  9. Classroom Family • Our classroom is a family. In our family, we help each other to get the best education possible and to learn at our greatest capacity. In order to function as effectively as possible, every family must have rules. In this family, every rule revolves around being RESPECTFUL. • Our class rule is: BE RESPECTFUL by being responsible, organized, punctual, prepared and kind.

  10. Homework • Completing and turning in homework is very important in 8th grade! • Homework is a great way to reinforce what is learned during the school day or to preview what will be learned. • The amount of homework given is determined by each teacher. • Homework is expected on the due date.

  11. Tardiness • Locker time begins at 8:00 a.m. • 1st period begins at 8:07 a.m. • We begin working as soon as each class starts. A bell ringer will be implemented each day. • Being present and on time each day ensures that you won’t miss important work!

  12. Materials The following materials will be used on a daily basis in our classroom and you are expected to bring these with you to class: • Pencils and/or pens • Binder with Paper • Composition book • Agenda book • AR book (ALWAYS BRING TO CLASS)

  13. Classroom Donations Parents help keep our classroom running! Donating items to our classroom ensures that students have access to all the supplies they need throughout the school year. Some items that can be donated are: • Tissues (we use a ton!) • Paper Towels • Hand Sanitizer • Pencils • Markers • Highligters • Glue (small bottles or sticks are best) • Poster board (full or half size) *It would be great if each family could donate at least one box of tissues and just one of the other items on the list. Thank you for your support!

  14. Needed Supplies for Language Arts Class • Composition book • Pencils and/or pens (if using mechanical pencils, make sure you have lead) • Binder with paper (being organized with dividers is very helpful) • One or two sheets of poster board will be needed throughout the year (do not need to bring these now). • 3x5 or 4x6 cards will be needed for research and giving speeches (do not need to bring these now)
