Welcome to your first year of Middle School!
Oh man am I excited to be a part of your middle school journey here at ATL. Here are just a few things you need to know about my classroom and my expectations.
So, what are we going to learn together this year? Well, I am glad you asked!
Students will study World Civilizations to uncover trends from prehistory to present day. We will learn about ancient and classical civilizations while exploring their enduring cultural, intellectual, and technological influences. Students will also work on using critical thinking skills, historical analysis, and other aspects of hands-on learning.
What if I miss your class?
If a student is absent, they will be responsible for getting the work they missed while out. Schoology will need to be checked every day but especially if the student cannot be in class. They may need to ask the teacher for this work. An arrangement will be made between the teacher and student. Work should be asked for at the beginning of class, prior to instruction.
- Everyday you will need your S.S. Notebook, pencil, and a can-do attitude.
- Come in, have a seat, take out your supplies, & check the board or wait for instructions.
- Most mornings you will have a warm up on Schoology but if that is different I or the whiteboard will let you know.
- Always show respect, it is key in life to treat people the way you want to be treated. That goes for anyone you interact with.
- When it doubt, ASK! No question is a dumb question.
- If you have trash, please dispose of it properly. There are four trash cans in my room so no excuse for trash left on the floor.
- Be courteous, be kind, be prepared.
- Electronics will be properly stored away in book bags unless otherwise told. If for some reason a personal device needs to be charged, please ask me. I will charge it, if I can, behind my desk.
- Not trying is NOT an option. Always give it a try!
