Check the white basket in the front of the room.
Remember to return borrowed pencils at the end of the hour!

I don't like group work. Do I have to do this in a group? (Respect, Effort)
Yes! Working with others is an important skill and part of your learning expectations.
I lost my vocab notes. What do I do? (Effort)
Get a new copy from the Extra Copies Binder!
We finished our work early. What do I do?

True or False: Ms. Bonello has infinite pencils. (Respect)
FALSE!! Please return any pencils you borrow to the box where you found them so that we do not run out!
I know the answers. Can I just do it and let my group copy me? (Integrity, Dependability)
No!
That does not help anyone learn. If you think you know the answers, awesome! But do the work to talk them through with your group.
When is the only time you have homework assigned from ELA?
When you do not finish your work in class.
The bell is about to ring. Where should you be?
Standing or sitting at your ASSIGNED SEAT with all materials put away neatly.
I need to use the bathroom. Can I just go? (Integrity)
No.
If the bell has rung, you need to wait for the first 10 minutes of class, and then ask permission before leaving.
I forgot my binder in my backpack. What do I do during warm-up time? (Preparedness AND Effort)
Grab a new copy of the warm-up from the Monday folder in the Absent bin. (Effort!)
Whining and complaining about my group will result in me working on my own.
No. Group work is part of the expectations. If you are not working well with your group, you will receive a warning and then a consequence (referral/message home)
Can I work on the things I missed during class time?
Nope. Work missed due to absences becomes homework.
We are turning in an assignment at the end of class. Where should it go?
In a NEAT pile in the middle of your table.
Where should you be when the bell rings for the start of class? (Dependability)
In your seat, working quietly on the day's warm-up.
