Shive’s Successful Strategies
Bellringers
Answer all bellringers by underlining how you got your answer NOT just circling the correct letter.
Get the correct answer for all bellringers (absent, office, club when you miss).
Keep up with bellringer sheets – if you lose yours check the extra handouts.
Binders
Always keep the table of contents, Shive’s successful strategies, syllabus, class procedures, and safety
contract!!!
Keep up with and FILL in table of contents.
Number all pages to match the table of contents and date.
Pick up returned papers from the out box folder with your class period and put in binder.
Remember you will take a binder quiz every 4 ½ weeks.
Class Time
During notes – take organized notes – write all examples – participate – ask questions
When the assignment is given – begin work immediately – it is NOT for you to save for homework
While working on assignments, remain quiet – be respectful of your classmates that are trying to work
Assignments
Show all work when completing homework –work is graded not necessarily answers
If homework is collected at the beginning of class, turn in before it is picked up from tray or it is late
Assessments
Use a pencil/or blue/black ink on all assessments to avoid losing points
During assessments keep eyes on own paper AND no talking at all – for any reason
Complete missing assessments by date listed on board
Leaving class
Wait until notes have been completed (unless it is an emergency)
Sign out on sheet and get pass.
While You Were Out
Look in the tray on the back table to find missing assignments, note pages, or assessment reminders
Homework should be completed and turned in the next school day to be graded
Turn in homework if it was collected while you were out into the in box the day you return.
Attitude
Want to learn each day you enter the classroom
Work hard each day by taking notes and completing all assignments
Ask for help when you don’t understand
Come for extra help if needed – mornings or advisory
My promise to you
I promise
To have high expectations for each student
To teach, assist, and encourage
To hold you accountable for your actions
To hold you accountable for your assignments
To hold you accountable for your grades
To encourage you to be a thinker
I will work hard to give you the science tools you need to be successful in my classroom as well as in high
school. But I am striving for much more for than that – I want YOU to be successful in LIFE. I want you
to have the necessary skills to succeed in whatever job you choose. Those skills will include organization,
responsibility, pride in your work, discipline, and learning to be a thinker. I am available for questions and
extra help at any time. BUT you have to come to get the help, you have to ask the questions, and you have
to put forth your BEST effort at all times. If you work hard every day and keep your FOCUS on the prize
– I personally promise that you will have a great year and will be successful in every way.
