TAKING CARE OF Science Journals and Folders

These Journals  and folders are very important to our everyday classwork. We will work in them most every day of the year.  You must take care of your journals and folders by:

• Fix pages that get ripped or worn
• Date and label pages and activities following Mrs. Wagner’s directions
• Keep all loose papers in your folder
• Place both journal and folder in the appropriate class bin at the end of each class period

Classroom Library

I have created a classroom library for all my students to enjoy.  If you wish to borrow a book from me, please see me before or after class.  I will only allow each student to borrow one book at a time in order for all students to have the opportunity to enjoy a new book.  Please treat our books with respect and return them to me as soon as you are done reading.  

How do I turn in assignments?

·         If you have late work, turn it into your class hour bin.

Are electronics allowed in class?

No, you cannot bring any electronic devices from home. You can keep your cell phone in your locker, but you cannot use it in class.

You will have a class Chromebook assigned to you. You must take care of it by:
