Expectations



Students come to class prepared with materials
and on time (notebooks, pens, pencils).
Students write down HW in their agenda book
complete assignments. Assignments are usually
given 2-3 times a week with time in between for
students to ask questions
When students are absent have them check the
website and see me in the morning before classes
begin when they return so I can give them missed
information, and sign them up for a tutoring
session some time that week
Interactive Notebook
 All
students are keeping an interactive
notebook for notes and process learning
Right side teacher input (notes, thought
questions, brainstorm
 Left Side output- where students process
their learning (pictures, concept maps,
summaries, etc.)
Notebooks should be left in the classroom,
but can be taken home to complete
assignments or study for tests
