IMPORTANT CLASS INFORMATION

Pew’s Policies – Team 6A Social Studies

My class is run in a very interactive manner. Students will complete numerous
activities, simulations, in-class projects, and worksheets on a constant basis.  
Organization is essential for success in my class.

Notebook:  (please click on the Notebooks tab above for more details about
the notebooks)  Each student is responsible for completing and maintaining his or
her notebook from September through June. The cover should be decorated with
visuals about your child and their name must appear clearly.  Notebook pages
should be numbered FRONT and BACK from 1-200 (a 100 page notebook
numbered on both sides).  This notebook is the “textbook” for my class. All
worksheets that are completed in class are labeled with a page number.  It is the
student's responsibility to attach these pages to the corresponding numbered page
in his or her notebook.  Pages that are NOT attached do NOT receive credit. Tests
and projects are completed via these completed pages.  Please make sure that
pages are attached every night.  Students are given glue and time at the end of
every class to attach the pages from that day.  Notebooks are graded every one to
two weeks and count as 30% of each report card grade.  Notebook checks will be
both announced and unannounced.  Failure to maintain a neat, completed, and
organized notebook can result in failure of my class!  RECOMMENDED
NOTEBOOK: ONE SUBJECT FIVE STAR SPIRAL NOTEBOOK. (NO
MARBLE COMPOSITION BOOKS)  If you are unable to provide the
recommended notebook, please ensure that the notebook has 100 pages and a
page size of  8.5 X 11 inches.

Materials:  Due to the fact that we complete multiple projects per quarter as well
as activities, classroom supplies must be treated with respect.  Donations are
welcome and encouraged!  Failure to treat the supplies with respect will result in
students not being able to participate in simulations.  Materials used are: markers,
glue, cardstock, scissors, tape, tape dispensers, rulers, string, manila and colored
folders, etc.  If you are able to donate any of the listed supplies, it would be
MUCH appreciated!

Simulations and Activities:  I have a firm belief that in order for students to truly
understand history they must experience it for themselves!  My classes participate
in numerous simulations where we investigate and act out historical events. Other
activities and in-class projects are also conducted for students to get their hands on
history.  Please be advised that inappropriate behavior, lack of respect for
classmates, or mistreatment of supplies will result in students being removed from
these events and given an alternate assignment.

ALL PROJECTS ARE IN-CLASS ASSIGNMENTS.

Homework:  Homework will be assigned as needed depending on activities in
class.  EVERY NIGHT your child should have notebook pages from the day
COMPLETED and ATTACHED.  Please email me for any readings or
worksheets you need, and I will send them to you within a few hours unless I am
unavailable.

www.misspew.com:  my website will be updated every Sunday (unless I am
traveling or something technical is wrong with my computer) with a plan for the
week including what notebook pages we will complete and what we will be
learning.  Please check the website weekly to make sure your child is up to date
with assignments.
