quietly and get ready for board work.
Place your homework on the corner of your desk so it can be
collected, passed in or checked.
- BE PREPARED – Bring your (A.) white
notebook paper, (B.) pencils, (C.)
science folder, and (D.) homework to class every day.
- BE
PRODUCTIVE – Finished
with your work? Read RR book,
review, work on homework, organize notebooks, etc., but stay in your seat
and do not disturb others.
- BE POLITE - Raise your hand to speak. Respect other students’ feelings (no
put-downs), respect other students’ property, and respect other students’
right to learn.
