Subject Taught: 7^th Grade Science

My Science class is aligned with the Arizona State Standards. Life Science will be the major focus this year which includes The Scientific Method, Life Cycles, Ocean Life, Plant & Animal Cells, and the Human Body Systems. We will also prepare for the Science Fair where the knowledge of The Scientific Method is applied.

· Follow directions the first time they are given.

· Come to class prepared each day.

· Raise your hand to speak.

· Stay in your seat.

· Be kind to everyone.

My discipline plan is very simple.

3 STRIKES & YOU’RE OUT!

· Strike 1 = Warning

· Strike 2 = A conference outside with me

· Strike 3 = You’re Out of the classroom with a referral to the office and a phone call home.

· Pencil, Pen & Eraser

· Notebook Paper

· Agenda

· AR Book

AND

· Science Journal (for Science only)

Homework will be given daily and is due the following day unless otherwise specified. If a student is absent for regular class work, the assignment will be due the next school day. Students have 1 day for each day missed to complete homework. It is the student’s responsibility to acquire any work that was missed.

Students who do not complete assignments will receive a reminder. He/she will have until the next class to turn in any assignment for partial credit. After 1 week, no credit will be given. Students that miss more than 3 homework assignments will receive mandatory study hall and a phone call home.

When and if extra credit is given, it is only given to students who have completed all of the regular class assignments. Extra credit will not be given to those who are missing regular class work.

Students are greeted at the door by the teacher. Students quietly navigate to their assigned seats and start the mindset (mini-assignment) listed on the board. Students need to be in their seats and working quietly when the final bell rings. The teacher takes roll and then discusses the lesson on the board with the students as they fill out their agenda. After this, the teacher starts the lesson for the day.

I hope everyone has an amazing and restful summer. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon; August 6^th, 2008!!!!!!

I will be collecting animal figures (not dinosaurs). If you have some you would like to donate, just drop them off at the office or bring them in when school starts.

If you have any questions, or just want to say hi,

please email me and I’ll get back with you

as soon as I can.
