Cornell Notes:

How long is the second quarter?
•Quarter 2: October 23 – January 12

•Includes:
– two 3-day weekends (11/3 & 11/10)
– Thanksgiving break (11/20-11/24)
–AND winter break (12/18-1/1)
•9 weeks of school; 42 school days
•24 days of English

What can I expect this quarter? 

•This quarter you will:

–Complete Collection 1 in your textbook

–Begin Collection 3 in your textbook

–Write an essay

–Have library orientation

–Do weekly reading logs

–Some sort of project   (it’s a mystery to me still)

What procedures should I practice?

Entering class: Quietly enter class. Sit down and begin filling in your planner with today's information, silently. The timer will be set for 2 minutes.

Prep time: After the time goes off, students will have 2-3 minutes to place backpacks against the wall, get materials from the back shelves, turn in assignments, and have a seat.

Bell work: After prep time, students will be seated and quiet as they complete their daily bell work in their IAN for 5 minutes. The bell work will be displayed on the board.

End of class: Students should make sure their area is free of trash and all supplies are put away. Students should not be leaving paper, post-its, Jolly Rancher wrappers, water bottles, caps, broken pens and pencils, chip bags, workbooks, IANs, and planners behind. When you leave these items behind it tells me you are: unobservant, disrespectful, or careless (none of these are flattering characteristics to have your teacher think of you). 

What about the bathroom?

3 bathroom passes will be issued per quarter.

Student must use restroom signal to get permission to leave, turn in a bathroom pass to the teacher, sign out and wear the vest. 

After the passes are used - no more restroom breaks during that period

Passes that go unused can be cashed in for extra credit at the end of the quarter
