Some Important Classroom Procedures
Entering the classroom (Room 301)
Students will line up in the hall and enter the room only when a teacher is present. Take your assigned seat and quietly complete the day’s “CALENTAMIENTO” (the Do Now/ Warm-Up Activity) that is posted on the SmartBoard or written on the white board. Please note that CALENTAMIENTOS are designed to help us get the class off to a productive start every day. You are to copy each Calentamiento as specified and answer all questions or respond to each instruction. Keep your Calentamientos arranged in order in a separate section of your binder. Calentamientos are scored and collected every 10 days and count as a PARTICIPATION GRADE.
When you are absent
When you are absent, I expect you to contact a classmate to find out what work you missed and/or check the school website.Copies of handouts you might have missed will be filed in your class folder in the box on the white book shelf. If you missed handing in a homework assignment, hand it in at the beginning of class the day you return.If you missed a quiz or test, you must set up a time with me to make-up the assignment within one week of your absence.
Extra Help
If you need help or have questions I can be available before or after school. You must make an attempt to complete your assignments at home.
