CLASSROOM PROCEDURES
1. When you report to class each day, your assignment will be on the
board. Check the board for bell assignments. This brief assignment will
only take about 5 minutes, then you may work on the main assignment for the
period. If you miss a bell assignment, it will be your responsibility to
make up the work. Notebooks will be checked at the end of the nine weeks
and will count as one daily grade. An open note art history test will be
given from the bell work slides each 9 weeks. This will count as one major
grade.
2. No talking or moving around during explanation of assignment by the
teacher. Students are to get appropriate materials and return to designated
work areas. You may work quietly individually or in small groups. No more
than three students to a table (unless a particular project calls for more).
3. Daily grades and major grades unless otherwise stated will be as
follows:
1st & 3rd 9 weeks 2nd & 4th 9 weeks
Daily Grades Daily Grades
25% 34%
Major Grades Major Grades
50% 66%
Exam Grade
25%
4. The last five minutes of class is clean up time. You are
responsible for your work area. This includes the supplies you used, your
table, and the floor. Take “pride” in your art room and keep it clean.
5. Most supplies are provided for you; however, you will need to bring
to each class a pencil, an eraser, your art folder and when instructed an
all purpose sketch pad or watercolor pad. Do not leave your personal
supplies in the classroom. Keep them locked in you locker.
6. The Golden Rule will be practiced in my classroom. “Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you.” In other words - treat others, as you
want to be treated. Here are a few things we will work on:
*Work on using “please” and “thank you”.
*Be attentive and not talk when I or another student are talking to the
class. For example: giving instructions,
introducing a unit, giving a presentation, or answering
a question that has been asked to the class.
*Strive to keep the room as clean as possible by putting trash in the trash
can and not writing or painting on the tables and walls.
*Use a pleasant voice when asking for something.
*No “swearing”. I don’t want to hear it my classroom and neither do many of
your classmates.
* Look at the positive. Try to make every day in my classroom a “good
weather” day.
*Care about other people’s feelings.
