WELCOME TO MS. TICE’S
LANGUAGE ARTS CLASS
The 7th Grade Edition
A LITTLE ABOUT ME…
…this is my fifth year teaching at SMS,
I’ve taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.
…no, I’m not married. I have no children.
I live alone, with my cat. To answer more
personal questions, I’m going to have to
get to know you a little better.
TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE
I once had a three legged cat.
I was in the Marching Chiefs at FSU.
I lived in South Korea for two years.
NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT YOU
On your scrap paper write down two things that are
true about yourself and one thing that is a lie. Make
it good, your best friend should have a hard time
guessing your lie.
Now, turn to your shoulder partner and share your 2
Truths and a Lie.

A SPECIAL NOTE

AT THE END OF CLASS
Wait for me to tell you it’s time to
pack up.
AT THE END OF CLASS

After you’ve packed everything up,
sit down. No one leaves until
everyone is seated and the room
is clean.
AT THE END OF CLASS

everyone is seated and the room
is clean.
Line up ONLY when Ms. Tice has
told you to.
AT THE END OF CLASS
After everyone is sitting quietly and the room is
clean, I will tell the class that it is time to leave, and
you will calmly walk down the hallway to your next
class.
In the hallway you will walk in a line, one that is
straight, because if a 5 year old can do it, so can you.
The line will stay on the right side of the hallway
until you get to your next class.
TURNING IN WORK
TURNING IN WORKMost of your work will be completed in your interactive notebooks (which I have kindly provided for you). However, on occasion we will be turning things in.
Usually important things.
For a grade.
TURNING IN WORK
When that happens, this heading should be in the
top right hand corner of your paper:
First and last name
Date
Class Period
TURNING IN WORK
When turning in classroom
assignments you will deposit them in
your class tray or someone will
collect the papers for your group
and deposit them into the tray.
GRADING
GRADING
Assessments = 70%• Tests, projects, quizzes
Assignments = 20%• Classwork, journals, notebook checks
Independent Reading = 10%
AND BECAUSE I KNO W SO MEO NE WILL ASK…
Yes, sometime I do provide you with
opportunities to earn some extra credit.
However, they are built into projects or
tests. It’s not something I “give” to you.
If you’re waiting to “fix” your grade with
extra credit, you should know that’s not
really how it works here.
WHAT ABOUT WHEN I’M ABSENT?
WHAT ABOUT WHEN I ’M ABSENT?
I use this thing called the internet. On it I have a website, the
address is ticelangarts.weebly.com. I update it everyday with
our class assignments and homework.
If you are one of those who, sadly, does not have access to the
internet at home, you can also ask a neighbor/friend/peer. If no
one who acknowledges your existence will help you, come and
ask me. I will give you a condensed version of what we did and
give you a heads up on assignments you will have to make up.
WHAT ABOUT WHEN I ’M ABSENT?
Under the long bulletin board, is a huge sign that
says EXTRA HANDOUTS FOR NOTEBOOK. Under it
is a box that has all the extra handouts that need to
be in your Notebook. Next to it is a basket that says
“Other Extra Handouts”. You’ll never guess what I
put in it.
