Welcome to 8th Grade Humanities
Your 8th grade year is an exciting and important time and I am
thrilled to be here to experience it with you.
Below is information regarding:
 | Classroom Expectations |
| Homework Policies |
| Absences |
Classroom Expectations:
This classroom is a community that is rooted in three basic
principles, BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, and BE SUCCESSFUL.
To help us achieve these goals, here is a list of
classroom expectations:
| Come to class on time and be prepared with the necessary
supplies (planner, pencil, pen, paper, notebook, PR book, textbook,
homework). |
| Be ready to listen, think, share and respond. |
| Wait to be acknowledged before speaking-this means raising your
hand. |
| Complete all work in and out of class. Turn in all work on time. |
| Be friendly, kind helpful cooperative, encouraging and positive
at all times. |
| Respect others' thoughts and ideas. Become a good listener! |
| If you do not understand something, it is up to you to ask
for assistance. (The teacher cannot read minds.) |
| Take pride in yourself and our classroom and always do your
personal best. |
We all must have appropriate sense of humor!
Do your best and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
Homework:
There will be homework most evenings. Homework is
reviewed daily and is written on the white board in class. You are
responsible for writing in you planner.
|
All homework must have an appropriate heading which
includes: Student name, Subject & Period, Date, and Name of
Assignment. |
|
All final drafts need to be word-processed with 12
point , Times New Roman font, 1 inch top and bottom margin and 1.25
inch side margins. |
|
Assignments with spiral ruffles will not be
excepted. |
|
Remember to indent when starting a new paragraph. |
|
Review all work before turning it in to check for
spelling and grammar errors. |
|
If an assignment has been
required to be typed and your printer runs out of ink you will need
to come to school early or find another printer. In other words,
your assignment still must be turned in on time. |
|
Homework turned in late will
receive half credit ONLY if it is given to the teacher the next
day. Students can use their homework coupons for full credit if it
is given to the teacher the next day. |
Absences:
If you are absent from class, it
is your responsibility to determine what assignments you missed by
looking at the Homework Calendar
which is located above the Absent Work File Folder. Extra copies
of in class assignment will be filed by date in the file folder.
You have
one day for every day you are absent to get work turned in. This
does not include major projects, which need to be turned in on there
assigned due dates, NO EXCEPTIONS!
If you miss a test then it
becomes your responsibility to see me and set up a time to make-up the
test.
It is your responsibility
to turn in work on time and make arrangements with me to make up a quiz
or exam. (For more information on absences, see the “Welcome
Back to BLMS” Humanities packet given at the beginning of the year.)
