  1. Welcome to 6th Grade Math and Science! Museum Entrance Classroom Expectations Interactive Notebooks Consequences Grading Procedures FAQs All About Ms. Rogers

  2. Curator’s Office Ms. Rogers My name is Jennifer Rogers and I will be your Math/Science teacher for the 2011-2012 school year. I grew up near Youngstown, Ohio, and graduated from Youngstown State University with a Bachelor’s in Middle School Education. I was ready for warmer weather and moved to North Carolina in February of 2006. I taught in Johnston County Schools from 2006-2009, and then decided to move to the beach. I have taught at Hunters Creek Middle School since then. I coach volleyball and also enjoy going to the beach, Ohio State Football, riding my bike, and spending time with friends. I finished my Master’s in Science Education in August 2010 and also have an AIG Endorsement from Barton College. Contact me at jennifer.rogers@onslow.k12.nc.us Return to Entry

  16. Spiral Notebook You will need a spiral notebook for both Science and Math class. This will be your Interactive Notebook or IAN. We will be using this everyday and it is your responsibility to stay up-to-date. If you are absent, be sure to get the notes you missed from a classmate or Ms. Rogers. Return to Exhibit

  17. Table of Contents You will be required to keep a Table of Contents in your Notebook. You should update your Table of Contents daily so you do not get behind. This will be part of your notebook grade. A good time to update your Table of Contents is when you first enter the classroom, have finished an assignment early, or after taking notes. Return to Exhibit

  18. Organization You will be using all the pages in your notebook, including the front and back of the pages! It is important that you keep each page numbered to help you stay organized. Right Side: The right side of the notebook will be odd-numbered pages. This is for notes we take in class, key terms, notes from the textbook, or other “information-based” writing. We will be taking notes in Cornell Style. Left Side: The left side of the notebook is for your ideas about the topics we are studying. Writing, labs, practice problems, drawings, etc. will be put on the left side. When looking at the open notebook, the left and right pages always relate to each other, which is a good way to help review! Return to Exhibit

  19. Notebook Checks Your Math and Science IANs can and will be checked randomly. This is an important part of your grade so it is important that you stay up-to-date and organized. What will Ms. Rogers check? Table of Contents is updated, all notes are current, each page is numbered, labeled with a title, and dated, and the work is neat, organized, and of high quality. Return to Exhibit

  20. Grading Rules Grades for each grading period will be determined by the total percentage of the points accumulated. All assignments should be turned in on the due date. The grade of the assignment will be affected if it is turned in late. Students are also responsible for making up any worked missed while absent. Students can find the missing assignments on the classroom calendar. Missed work should be made up in a timely manner. Students will receive Progress Reports every 4 weeks. Return to Exhibit

  24. What do I need to do to use a pass? You need to ask Ms. Rogers for permission to use a pass to visit the office, go to the bathroom, or get a drink. You should have your agenda filled out before you ask so Ms. Rogers can easily sign it. Along with filling out your agenda, you also need to sign the Check-Out sheet in the back of the room. Passes to your lockers are not permitted during class time! You should use your lockers at the designated locker time! Return to Exhibit

  25. What do I do if I finish my work early? The first thing you should do is recheck your work to make sure it is done correctly! After that, you may go to the “Did You Finish Early?” Bulletin Board for a Challenging Assignment. Pick one activity to complete. These can be turned in for extra-credit. You should also make sure your IAN is up-to-date and that all of your work is turned in. Return to Exhibit

  26. What should I do if I need extra help? You should ask questions during CLASS when we have time to work on assignments. You can also make arrangements to see me during Tutorial or after school. If you would like to stay for after-school tutoring, you must make prior arrangements a day in advance as well as bring a note from your parents that gives you permission to stay after school. You SHOULD NOT wait until an assignment is DUE to ask for help! Return to Exhibit

  27. I was absent, now what? If you were absent, the first thing you should do is come to class the next day and look at the Classroom Calendar located on the side board. Copy any missed assignments in your agenda to be completed within 3 days. If you missed any notes, you should make arrangements to copy them from a classmate or from Ms. Rogers’ IAN. Any labs that are missed can be made up after school or during Tutorial. Some labs may not be able to be made up. If that is the case, you will be given an alternative assignment to make-up that lab.
