The beginning of class…
Enter the classroom Quietly and follow the instructions on the

on the opening slide will begin as soon as the late bell rings. You

everything completed when the timer goes off.

Helpful Hints
You’re expected to be in your seat and working on your opening
activity by the time the bell rings. Remember to watch the timer to
monitor your time for the opening activity.
If you need to sharpen your pencil, you can just get up and do
so as long as you don’t disrupt the class on the way. The same goes
for tissues.
Pencil sharpeners as well as tissues (with hand sanitizer) are
located on both sides of the room. Please use the supplies closest
to your assigned seat to avoid disruption.
Helpful Hints
No passes out of the room will be issued for the first and last
10 minutes of class. If it is truly an emergency, then you have to
use an emergency pass!
Emergency Passes must be used at all times other than
independent work time. This includes, but is not limited to, whole
class instruction and group work. If you must leave the room during
an assessment (quizzes/tests), you must use an emergency pass.
Extra supplies can be found on both sides of the classroom.
Please use the supplies that are closest to your desk and use them
sparingly. Supplies are limited by the six week period.
Helpful Hints
You should check the blog for all of your make up work. If there
is a handout you need, or if you have a question about a specific
assignment, please see me during homeroom. We may not have time
during class, and I don’t want you getting further behind.
You are responsible for getting and turning in all work missed
during an absence. You should turn all of your make up work into
the make up work tray located in the front of the classroom.
If there is any reason (including absence) you are not turning
in an assignment, you must fill out a missing assignment
reflection. Please be sure to read and follow all instructions on
the missing assignment reflection sheet in order to turn late work
in for partial credit. Work turned in due to absence will not
receive a point deduction as long as it is turned in within the
allowed time. All late work should be dated and turned into the
late work tray located in the front of the classroom.
Binder Set-Up
You will have five sections in your language arts binder:
Reading
Writing
Grammar
Vocabulary
Poetry
There will be certain pages in your binder that will be used
throughout the year so it is a good idea to put them in protective
sheets. I will always let you know when you can get rid of
something in your binder.
Supply List
These are the supplies you were informed about at the beginning
of the year. You are not expected to purchase new supplies. It is a
good idea, however, to make sure you haven’t lost or run-out of any
items.
Three-ring binder (high-usage)
Dividers
Notebook Paper (lots!)
Sheet Protectors
Flash Drive
Pencils
Pens— 2 different colors (at least one should be blue or black
for final copies)
