Voyagers!
Welcome to room 301. I am looking forward to
working with you this year. Please read the
information in this letter carefully and share it with
your parents. By understanding and following
these guidelines, you will be on your way to a
successful year in Physical Science.
SCIENCE Supplies:
* We sometimes use calculators.
Your math one will suffice. Bring it.
* Metric Ruler 12”/31cm
* Colored pencils are preferable to
markers for most of the projects requiring
color illustration.
Mr. Olson
Voyager Team Expectations
Be respectful of the teacher and other students.
Be on time, in your seat and silent when the bell
rings.
Have all of your materials and your binder
reminder in class.
Remain seated unless given permission to leave
your seat.
Raise your hand for permission before you speak.
Leave all food, drink and gum at home.
Homework: Always record
assignments in your Binder Reminder.
Homework is due on the assigned day and is
related to current study.
"In class" assignments not completed in a
timely manner will need to be taken home and
completed to receive credit. Large projects/team
projects must be turned in by the due date for full
credit. Points will be deducted for any late
assignments.
Work missed due to an absence must be made up
in a time period equal to the number of days missed.
Students are responsible for getting missed assignments.
Mr. Olson's Expectations
*When Mr. Olson is talking, you are listening.
*You are responsible for your own behavior and
success.
*You are expected to participate.
*We all have a right to a quiet and orderly
classroom environment. You are to contribute to
that environment, not detract from it.
*You will be held accountable for any damage to,
or misuse of, any school equipment or property,
including desktops, books, and science equipment.
*Do not allow yourself to be intimidated by science.
