About me…

Expectations…

when students come into the classroom quietly and unpack their things first thing in the morning instead of chatting.

when people raise their hand to speak or ask a question instead of calling out and interrupting.

When people are kind and respectful to one another instead of being mean and hurtful.

When students show initiative by doing things on their own without being told.

When people work hard and do their best everyday instead of putting their head down and not doing their work.

•“What you do in class is just as important,

if not more important, than what you do

on a test.”

•“You are responsible for you!”
