"Follow the Bulldog Way!" :)
Be Responsible
Be Safe
"Follow the Bulldog Way!" :)
To help make sure my students are held accountable while learning, I will draw one student each class period to be the "Secret Superhero".
During that class period, I will watch that student(s) perform. If the student has worked hard and has exhibited the "Bulldog Way" (PBIS) then the student will earn an incentive and will be recognized for his/her good behavior and participation.
Prizes that the students can earn are passes!! First in line to lunch, Good Call Home, Snack Pass, Hat pass, Switch Seats for a day pass, or VIP Seating.
If the student chosen is not accountable for his or her learning... the student loses out on the opportunity to be recognized and does not get the Secret Super Hero Incentive . The student's name WILL NOT be read in front of the class if he/she has not been accountable for their own learning. Instead, they will be given another chance at a later time.

Weekly Homework
7th/8th Grade: Weekly Language Assignments (Tasks vary depending on units of study)
if assigned they are usually given Monday and Due Friday! (100 points)
8th Grade Reading: Students are expected to create a goal for reading each trimester based on minutes and read to reach their goal. (This does not include novel studies done in class or books previously read by the student.) Students will be asked to provide proof of reading their books by completing a book log at the back of their assignment note book with a parent/teacher signature.
*** There are times where I do not assign weekly assignments if I do not think it is necessary. For these times, the best way to get that information on whether we do/do not have homework is through REMIND 101. This is listed below at the bottom of the page.

Hulk Homework
Homework/Projects/Daily Assignments unfortunately are a necessary evil to prepare students for higher learning and civic responsibility. For some students it is painful, for others it comes easy. I strive to make homework assignments as authentic for the learner as I can. This may include differentiation and modifications on assignments when necessary. I am empathetic that for some students independent learning can be quite a challenge.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP!
I am available before school Monday-Friday from 8-8:30am for individual help. After school, make a request!! Most days I am available Monday-Friday until 4:30!
