- In OUR classroom we work as a team - the rules are simply, we all know how to appropriately act in school so no discussion is needed unless inappropriate behavior begins.
- We are ALL responsible for our own work - quality is expected & quantity will vary but is guaranteed!
- There is a positive reward behavioral system of payment where students are awarded classroom money for work completed. They also pay fees and use checks/a check book - money does NOT effect grades!
- In-class work will vary from independent assignments to group projects & many different activities to allow students multiple opportunities to excel throughout the school year!
- Whenever applicable students will be encouraged & required to include current topics from the news in our classroom material & discussions. Students will learn why HISTORY and/or SOCIAL STUDIES are relevant to the real world/their current lives. They will learn why it is necessary to cover our past in order to ensure they are educated adults who are civically responsible in their future.
- What we want to see is a child in the pursuit of knowledge not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
-George Bernard Shaw
- I believe in the GOLDEN RULE!
- I will always be FAIR but that may not be EQUAL!
