Welcome to Mrs. J’s ClassRules and Guidelines

Mrs. Josselet

Another important fact: I am the Queen of this classroom!

I have the tiara to prove it!!

There is only one of me and several of you, so know that I will get to you as soon as I can when you need help. Being impatient and demanding will not make me get to you any sooner.

Disrespect is my biggest pet

peeve. Do not talk when I am talking. This is a simple request that I will also honor with you.

Supplies

Make sure you come to class prepared with the appropriate items needed for that day. I will keep literature books in my room, so you only need keep up with your Chromebook. You will need the following for my class this year: Paper Paper- pens-pencils

Study!!!!!!!!!

Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?

The time we have in class is important. Make the most of it.

Class time is not the time to catch up, flirt, make weekend plans, etc. It is time to work. If we work hard, there could be a bit of time where you can visit occasionally.

HOMEWORK

Homework is important. I will never give you homework just for the sake of giving you work. It will ALWAYS have a purpose. I don’t give a lot of homework, so when I do, I expect you to do it! I will be available via Google Classroom and Twitter to help you with any questions you have.

Get to bed at night. There is no naptime in high school!

Grammar, spelling,and punctuation are important

Why? First of all, you sound like an intelligent

human being when you write and speak correctly. This is important in life as many employers do not want someone who appears uneducated. This is true even if you only aspire to work the drive through window at McDonalds. Many employers will discard your resume if it contains multiple grammar and spelling errors. And most importantly for you right now, it is tested on the EOC.

Don’t make me give you this face!

You should work so hard that this is you ever day after school.

Remember no one likes Mondays- teachers included!

Some more thoughts:

Just remember…

And…

Even though we have to focus on the dreaded STAAR test and practice writing in the “box”, don’t let your thinking be confined to the “box”!

This is going to be an awesome year!

For tomorrow, consider the following question. Answer it in a complete paragraph, and be prepared to share at the beginning of class tomorrow. I will share mine as well.
