  1. WELCOME TO MS. DEGENSHEIN’S CLASS! “ The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.” -Anonymous

  2. Am I in the right place? • Ms. Degenshein or Ms. “Deg” • Environmental Science Level 1

  3. Who is this teacher as a person? • My favorites: • Movie: Apollo 13 • Show: Friday Night Lights • Sport: Basketball • Sports Teams: Giants, Knicks, Seton Hall • Food: French Fries • About me: • TCNJ Class of 2011—2nd year at Edison High School • Jersey born and raised • Played soccer and basketball • And most importantly, I LOVE teaching science!

  4. Will Ms. Degenshein treat me fairly? • ABSOLUTELY! • I care about all of my students. • I will show you the respect you deserve but you also have to show me the respect I deserve!

  5. How Will I be graded? • Tests, Quizzes: 50% • Labs/ Projects/ Classwork: 40% • Homework: 10% • If you miss a test or a quiz, YOU must find me to come make it up. • Handing in a lab or project late will result in a one letter grade deduction for each day late. • I will NOT accept late homework unless you were absent.

  6. Classroom Rules • Be respectful (of me and your classmates) • Be responsible. • Be reasonable. • Expectations: • Come to class ready to learn, take notes, ask questions, and participate in a positive manner. • Do your homework and class work. • Prepare for quizzes, tests, and assessments. • Come for extra help if you need it.

  7. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #1 • Be in your seat ready to work when the bell rings. There will be a DO NOW on the board every day which I expect you to answer in your notebook in a separate DO NOW section. These DO NOWs will be collected each week and will count as classwork.

  8. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #2 • Bring ALL materials (pencils or pens, binder, etc) to class and take them when you leave. • Ms. Degenshein is NOT a Staples.

  9. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #3 • Follow directions the first time they are given.

  10. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #4 • Clean up after yourselves! • We will be doing many labs and activities but that means we will be working with different materials. • Ms. Degenshein is not your maid. • You will lose participation points if you do not keep your area clean.

  11. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #5 • Treat Ms. Degenshein with respect. • Ms. Degenshein will always treat you with respect. • Treat your fellow classmates with respect. • Do not speak when Ms. Degenshein or another classmate is speaking. • Give an example of treating someone with respect.

  12. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #6 • Electronic devices are NOT to be used IN CLASS. • If I see them, I WILL take them. • First offense: You can pick up the item after class • Second offense: The item will be brought to the main office and a parent will need to pick it up at the end of the day.

  13. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #7 • Follow all procedures and policies as outlines in the EHS handbook.

  14. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #8 • NO CHEATING • If you are caught cheating on ANY assignment, you will receive a grade of 0 and a call or e-mail home. • Cheating is my #1 pet peeve. I am always available for extra help if you feel you do not understand the material. Please do not resort to cheating, you are only cheating yourself!

  15. Classroom GuidelinesGuideline #9 • Every day, an Agenda of daily activities will be posted on the board. • If we do not get to everything on the agenda due to YOUR behavior, the remaining items on the agenda will be assigned as homework.

  16. Not following guidelines will result in: • 1st offense: Warning • I will write your name on the board. Accept the warning and change your behavior! • 2nd offense: After School Detention • I will write a check next to your name on the board. Please see me after class to schedule your detention. • 3rd offense: Formal Write-Up • I will cross out your name on the front board and complete a formal write-up after class. You can expect a call or e-mail home as well. (Please don’t make me write you up, it’s obnoxious).

  17. One last thought about discipline • Any student who uses profanity, fights, damages school property (or property of other students or myself), or is disrespectful (as defined by me) will be sent to the office IMMEDIATELY. • Give some examples of behaviors that will get you sent to the office.

  18. YOUR EXPECTATIONS What do you expect of Ms. Degenshein as a teacher?
