Enter to Learn…Exit Ready for the Future
I’m Ms. Wells, and I love…
Running & Sports
I grew up running and have ran 3
half-marathons. I am training for
my first full marathon. I have
many brothers so am used to
being around, and talking about
sports. I love the New Orleans
Saints! Who Dat!
Reading
I enjoy reading history,
mystery, and realistic fiction. My
favorite author is Sophie Kinsella.
Traveling
My family, friends, and I
love going to the beach, and the
mountains in North Carolina. I
love going to visit my brother in
Chicago and dad in California. I
lived in England for 6 months
during College.
Teaching
This is my first year
teaching so I am very excited I
get to spend it with each of you! I
am a graduate of Ole Miss. Hotty
Toddy!

school each day?

journal OR respond to the writing prompt.
Do not close your journal until told to do so.

Ms. Wells needs our attention. Now what?
There will be two
ways that I will get
your attention.
“Give Me Five”
I will raise my hand
and say, “Give me five.”
When you see my
hand up, you should raise
your hand, look at me,
and close your
mouth.
1.
2.
“1-2-3…Clap, Clap,
Clap”
I will count 1-2-3.

1.You will clap three
times and become silent.
2.Eyes on me!
Let’s Practice.
How do I get Ms. Wells’ attention?
If you have a question that is vital or pertinent to the lesson,
RAISE YOUR HAND AND HOLD UP ONE FINGER. 1
If you need a tissue,
RAISE YOUR HAND AND HOLD UP TWO FINGERS. 2
If you need to use the bathroom (only after I have taught the
lesson),
RAISE YOUR HAND AND HOLD UP THREE FINGERS. 3
NEVER
THERE WILL
BE A REASON
TO YELL OUT ANSWERS OR SPEAK WITHOUT
PERMISSION.
I WILL OFTEN RANDOMLY CALL ON YOU…BE
PREPARED TO ANSWER.
WHAT IF I NEED TO…
SHARPEN MY PENCIL?
PENCILS MAY ONLY BE
SHARPENED AT THE
BEGINNING OF CLASS.

“Ms. Wells, may I use the bathroom?”
You will be given ONLY two bathroom
passes each nine weeks, so choose
wisely when to use them. Raise your
hand and ask first (three fingers),
BUT…
Do not ask to use the bathroom while
I am teaching or talking.
Do not ask to use the bathroom if
someone else is out of the room.

So you miss a lot of school…yikes!
If you are absent, you should do the
following:
Check my web page. At the end of
the day, I post our daily activities and
homework on the school’s web page.
Upon your return, ask me at the
beginning of class for your missed
work, but do not interrupt me during
class.
You will have three days to make-up
your work, including tests.
DO NOT EXPECT ME TO
REMIND YOU!!!!

“Ms. Wells, I forgot my homework.”
HOMEWORK IS DUE THE DAY AFTER IT
IS ASSIGNED.
IF YOU FAIL TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK,
YOU FAIL THAT ASSIGNMENT. THERE
ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
IF A PROJECT OR FORMAL ESSAY IS
NOT TURNED IN ON TIME, 10 POINTS
WILL BE DEDUCTED FOR EACH DAY
THAT IT IS LATE.
Should you not have your
materials or homework …
You will be asked to complete and
return a “Student Responsibility Card.”
This form is pink. You will complete the
form and return it to Ms. Wells’ basket
on her desk.
Should you not follow a procedure…
I will quietly walk over to your desk
and place a yellow card on it.
SILENTLY read and sign the card,
correct the behavior, and see me after
class.
I will pick up the card from you.
Dismissal Procedure
We work bell to bell.
What does this mean to you?
Therefore, do not start packing up
prior to the bell since the teacher
dismisses you - not the bell!
I WILL PLAY MUSIC AS YOU
SILENTLY WALK AROUND
THE ROOM.
WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS,
YOU SHOULD LOOK AT THE
NEAREST PERSON AND QUIETLY
ANSWER THE POSTED
QUESTION.
EVERYBODY UP AND...
SILENTLY GO!
SILENTLY WALK BACK TO YOUR
ASSIGNED SEAT.
THE QUESTIONING HAS
COMMENCED.
STUDY THESE NOTES…YOU
WILL TAKE A QUIZ ON THEM!
