Rules for Classroom

1.  Respect!
2.  Respect!
3.  Respect!
I have 3 rules.  And as you can see, the only rule is respect.  
In order to 
be successful in life, you must respect everything and everyone.  
This 
means: be respectful to the teachers, to each other, to my 
personal 
belongings, to your classmates belongings, and most importantly 
yourself!

Science Bellringers

Bellringers are an essential part of Science class.  Everyday a 
Bellringer 
is posted on the board. These questions relate directly to the 
standard we 
are currently working on, plus questions from past standards to 
keep the 
information fresh.  Bellringer questions should be written down 
daily 
and then answered.  Bellringers will be graded daily.  On Friday, 
the weekly 
grades will be averaged and the average grade will be put in the 
gradebook 
for the bellringer grade for the week.  The question and the 
answer must be 
present in order to receive credit.
