You made it to 8th grade!

Now what?

•I am a product of Anderson 1 schools.

I graduated from Wren, but I’m a Mustang now!

I have been married to the world’s best husband, Greg, for almost 16 years. We have two kids; Adam and Mary Alice. Adam is in 9th grade. Mary Alice is in 3rd.

I attended Winthrop University where I majored in Biology.

I am a Georgia fan!HOWEVER,

Pictures to share!

There you will have the choice to

A.Read or B. Work on HW.

If you are doing A or B, you may listen to your music.

If you are not working on A or B, you must sit quietly.

You may not have your phone out unless you have headphones plugged in and is not in

your hand.

WHEN THE TEACHER TALKS, YOU DON’T.

(We don’t want her to look like this!)

If you choose to not complete your work, then I choose to take your free time.

Example: Lunchtime LearningExample: Staying in during morning tutoring

or after school detention with me while completing your work.

Late WorkAny work not completed on time, including

tests, will receive a 10% penalty. Second chance retests count as late work.

Algebra and Honors ELA need to follow the guidelines on their syllabus.

This will not affect people who are out sick and have a valid excuse.

In here, all talking had better relate to the subject or be introduced by me.

Save your personal conversations for the hallway, lunchroom, and recess.

Gossip is not a good idea. I do not want to hear about what happened in another class, on the bus, in the hall, etc…

I will hold up my hand – you may finish your sentence, but

then stop talking and pay attention. If I start counting,

then stop before I get to three. Please, also raise your hand

before speaking.
