Classroom Goal
My goal for our class is for the students to reach their full potential by
reading and writing fluently. I will focus on meeting the student’s
individual needs as well as meeting state PASS objectives. These
objectives can be found on the Oklahoma State Department of
Education website.

Classroom Expectations
Be Respectful: Listen to others, raise your hand, and be polite.
Be Responsible: Follow directions, turn in ALL assignments,
clean up your area, and be honest.
Be cooperative: sit in your seat appropriately, use materials
properly, and do your job!
Stay positive! Use kind words, be helpful to others, give
encouragement, and include everyone!
Classroom Schedule
Each day the student will begin bell work upon entering the
classroom and complete the objective and assignments for that day.
Homework
Homework will only be given if the student does not complete the
assignment in the allotted time. If the assignment is taken home,
then it must be turned in the following day.
Cheating/Plagiarism
If a student is caught cheating or plagiarizing then he/she will be
assigned a zero for that assignment. There will not be an opportunity
to replace the grade.
Extra Credit
Extra credit opportunities will be given throughout the semester. The
students will be informed of these opportunities in class.
Late Work
Students will have plenty of time to turn in assignments on time. If
they choose to turn in an assignment passed its due date then they
will receive 10 points deducted from their grade.
Textbooks
Textbooks will be provided in class and may be checked out as
needed.
Grading Scale
90-100% = A

Grading Procedure

Student Agendas should be used in class daily. There will be an
agenda check every Friday on the day we have VIP.
Assignments that receive below a 70% can be redone for a higher
grade. The assignment must be redone by an assigned due date and
it is a choice. If the assignment is redone and turned in by the
assigned due date then the student will receive the earned grade.
The student must come into lunch or take the assignment home and
turn it in the following day to receive the earned grade.
Students are always welcome to come to my room before and after
school for additional help with teacher’s permission.
Discipline Management
Any behavior, which jeopardizes a student’s education or the
education of others, will be handled accordingly. The primary
objective is to ensure that all factors are conducive to learning.
