WELCOME TO MS. DEGENSHEIN’S CLASS!
“ The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.” -Anonymous
AM I IN THE RIGHT PLACE?
Ms. Degenshein or Ms. “Deg” Environmental Science Level 1
WHO IS THIS TEACHER AS A PERSON?
My favorites: Movie: Apollo 13 Show: Friday Night Lights Sport: Basketball Sports Teams: Giants, Knicks, Seton Hall Food: French Fries
About me: TCNJ Class of 2011—2nd year at Edison High
School Jersey born and raised Played soccer and basketball And most importantly, I LOVE teaching science!
WILL MS. DEGENSHEIN TREAT ME FAIRLY?
ABSOLUTELY! I care about all of my students. I will show you the respect you
deserve but you also have to show me the respect I deserve!
HOW WILL I BE GRADED?
Tests, Quizzes: 50% Labs/ Projects/ Classwork: 40% Homework: 10% If you miss a test or a quiz, YOU must find me
to come make it up. Handing in a lab or project late will result in a
one letter grade deduction for each day late. I will NOT accept late homework unless you
were absent.
CLASSROOM RULES
Be respectful (of me and your classmates) Be responsible. Be reasonable.
Expectations: Come to class ready to learn, take notes, ask
questions, and participate in a positive manner. Do your homework and class work. Prepare for quizzes, tests, and assessments. Come for extra help if you need it.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #1
Be in your seat ready to work when the bell rings. There will be a DO NOW on the board every day which I expect you to answer in your notebook in a separate DO NOW section. These DO NOWs will be collected each week and will count as classwork.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #2
Bring ALL materials (pencils or pens, binder, etc) to class and take them when you leave.
Ms. Degenshein is NOT a Staples.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #3
Follow directions the first time they are given.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #4
Clean up after yourselves! We will be doing many labs and activities but
that means we will be working with different materials.
Ms. Degenshein is not your maid. You will lose participation points if you do not
keep your area clean.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #5
Treat Ms. Degenshein with respect. Ms. Degenshein will always treat you with
respect. Treat your fellow classmates with respect. Do not speak when Ms. Degenshein or
another classmate is speaking. Give an example of treating someone with
respect.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #6
Electronic devices are NOT to be used IN CLASS.
If I see them, I WILL take them. First offense: You can pick up the item after class Second offense: The item will be brought to the
main office and a parent will need to pick it up at the end of the day.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #7
Follow all procedures and policies as outlines in the EHS handbook.
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #8
NO CHEATING If you are caught cheating on ANY
assignment, you will receive a grade of 0 and a call or e-mail home.
Cheating is my #1 pet peeve. I am always available for extra help if you feel you do not understand the material. Please do not resort to cheating, you are only cheating yourself!
CLASSROOM GUIDELINESGUIDELINE #9
Every day, an Agenda of daily activities will be posted on the board.
If we do not get to everything on the agenda due to YOUR behavior, the remaining items on the agenda will be assigned as homework.
NOT FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL RESULT IN:
1st offense: Warning I will write your name on the board. Accept the
warning and change your behavior! 2nd offense: After School Detention
I will write a check next to your name on the board. Please see me after class to schedule your detention.
3rd offense: Formal Write-Up I will cross out your name on the front board and
complete a formal write-up after class. You can expect a call or e-mail home as well. (Please don’t make me write you up, it’s obnoxious).
ONE LAST THOUGHT ABOUT DISCIPLINE
Any student who uses profanity, fights, damages school property (or property of other students or myself), or is disrespectful (as defined by me) will be sent to the office IMMEDIATELY.
Give some examples of behaviors that will get you sent to the office.
