Classroom Procedures
HOw we enter the classroom
I will be prepared for today's class, and greet you at the door.
You will enter the room respectfully, safely, and prepared, take your seat, have your materials out on your desk, and begin your Hagan Ahora (Do Now).
Being a Learner in our classroom
Students will be expected to participate each day. Students will need to achieve 40 participation points each marking period (20 points for 6th grade students). This includes raising your hand, writing answers on the board, and winning class challenges!
If you were absent, you will check the class's folder in the room for any missing work, check with a friend, or check the website for any work. Only after you have checked in with each of these resources, may you ask Señora for help.
Homework is graded on effort and at the beginning of class the day it is due. Any late projects will decrease 5 points each day.
We are a community
Respect is key to create a positive learning environment. We will respect each other's personal space and belongings and be considerate to all people in the classroom. We are all learners.
