  5. My Expectations • Students should come prepared to work hard each day! • Bring required materials to class each day • Be in your seat, with supplies, ready to begin! • Work until instructed to clean up • Be prepared to talk to me before or after class about personal business including: absent/makeup work, borrowing supplies , late homework passes, ticket rewards, gradebook inquiries, and other questions

  6. My Expectations • Students must be respectful to themselves, their peers, my classroom and myself • During direct instruction, there is ONE person talking at a time • During direct instruction if you are not talking you are ACTIVELY listening • Each student is entitled to their right to learn, and any disruptive behavior that interferes with that will not be tolerated

  7. My Expectations • Students should be willing to listen, assist, and engage with their peers • We will work in groups or partners a majority of our class time • Sometimes you will get to assist in choosing your seat/group (many times you can earn this), sometimes you will not • Each student in this class has unique and valuable talents and skill sets to contribute to this subject • See Study Team Guidelines Poster
