Our class is a

team…

If ….

• If you don’t listen – you won’t learn

• If you distract others – you are not listening – and not learning and stopping others from learning

• If you don’t ask you will never know….

It is time to STOP & LISTEN when …

• I stand at the front…. Count down from ten. By the time I get to ten you will ….• Pens down

• Look at me

• Quiet

• I wave my magic wand

• If I say “Check” it means you need to check yourself and stop what you are doing.

Why do homework?

• Practice homework reinforces newly acquired skills taught in class

• Preparation homework helps students prepare for upcoming lessons

• Extension homework provides challenging opportunities for enrichment.

Homework Policy

• All students are responsible for turning in their homework on time

• Late homework will result in a note home.

• You are responsible for recording your homework in your student diary

• You must attempt all homework – saying “I couldn’t do it” is a non-attempt at homework and will result in a note home.

• If you don’t do it – be honest, don’t lie to me as

I will loose respect and trust

Beginning of class

• Line up outside in two lines – quietly with your materials in your hands that you need to learn.

• Enter

• Put away your bag quickly

• Sit at your assigned seat – use the seating plan

• Quietly stand behind your chair

• I will say: “Good Morning Year 8”

• You will say: “Good Morning Mrs Harris”

• I will say: “Please be seated”

At the end of class

• Pack up – get you back pack

• Return to your desk

• Pick up any trash

• Push your chair in and stand quietly behind your chair

• I will say: “Good Morning Year 8”

• You will say: “Good Morning Mrs Harris”

• Leave quietly & orderly

Every day is a new day
