I have had several students and parents ask how to prepare for my class....
Below are several suggestions to help students succeed throughout the year:
First, bring a great attitude and be respectful of others.
You might ask, "What is a great attitude?" Every day, be willing to work hard on any activity that is discussed, explained and offered to you. Every time we meet as a class, it is an opportunity for you to shine. Take advantage and come with a smile on your face:)
Also being respectful of your peers (classmates), me ( your teacher) and your surroundings. We have a great school and it is even greater since YOU have joined us at Hancock County Middle School.
Second, come prepared to work with ALL essential materials.
What are essential materials? Paper, sharpened pencils, folders, notecards and highlighters are needed on most days....I will post the assignment on the board for each period.
One of the most important things you can bring to class....your planner (agenda). It is your ticket to the bathroom and to your locker......don't leave it in your locker....bring it with you to help keep you organized.
Third, remember that being quiet and calm in the hall is necessary and for your safety.
I know that you are excited about school starting but remember to be calm in the halls. We do not allow anyone to RUN from one class to the next. We line up outside in the halls and wait for teacher instructions. When you enter the room, seats will usually be assigned so find yours quickly and remain there....so it is not distracting to others and class can begin on time!
See you soon,
Mrs. Basham
