Google Classroom: Grade 7 American History

----------------------------------------------------

**Remember..History is filled with a lot of events and people but my notes will give you the key parts and players of our nation's history leading to what you should know into adulthood and someday, you will help your children learn the very same:).

*Pearson Online: All PASSCODES are "Angels123"

**Assignments are always due on the deadline date.

................................................................................................

Note-taking 

An essential skill to develop now and will be utilized all through middle school, high school, college, and in life..

• I highly suggest writing notes for better memory retention and to avoid having the responsibility of printing up notes each time you take them. 
• Some students still request to type the notes. I will allow however heed my warning-if you type them, you will be responsible for printing them up and having them in your binder by the start of class.  No exceptions if you do not have them. Again..they MUST be printed out and in your binder when you walk into class. 
• If you think you will forget to do this, please hand-write the notes in the traditional way and do not type them. I can tell you that you will benefit more from hand-writing notes.
• There is no partial credit.  You take them properly, you get a hundred. If you do not complete or do not have them printed, it is a zero. We take notes too often for me to follow up with sixty plus students on who has and who is missing. It is an easy hundred, sirs and ma'ams, so please take it seriously and do not make it harder on yourself.

Social Studies: 7th Grade American History I

Ms. Nikki Newton, M.Ed.

 

I. My Background 

I have been in education for over 15 years and have served in the capacity of both educator and administrator during my career.  I have taught many subject areas in both public and private schools in grade levels two through twelfth grade.

Degrees/Certifications:

• Associate degree in Business Administration

• Bachelor degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education

• Masters of Education in Measurement and Evaluation

• Highly Qualified Status in Middle School Language Arts

• Certified Orton Gillingham Instructor

Outside of education, I actively serve as a Firefighter-Emergency Medical Technician and currently pursuing Auxiliary Police. My passion for helping others has led me to these exciting careers.  

 

II. Classroom Management: Manners, Self-Control, Respect for Authority, and Self-Discipline

• Classroom management is essential to the success of effective instruction.  Due to my outside profession, showing empathy and respect for others while maintaining self-control and holding ourselves to a high standard is expected of me to be maintained at all times and under all conditions and I want to instill that same value in my students.  

• Manners are important - to the growth of a child, to a respect for authority as they continue to grow, to eventually developing a good work ethic - is interrelated to the developing manners, appreciation, a passion to work hard, and hold utmost respect for those around them.  Attending a Catholic school reinforces this belief in bringing back a formality to manners and etiquette as we are reminded that this is also an expectation clearly stated in the Bible.  

• You may have noticed your children using the phrases “yes/no ma’am/sir”, “yes please”, “no thank you”, etc. to replace common slang such as “yeah”, “uh huh”, and just a lack of acknowledging adults more formally. 

• It is expectations such as these that remind students of a reverence for God’s law and His utmost commandment of loving our neighbors as ourselves through the display of a genuine level of respect for all those around us, especially those in authority. I hope that I can instill my convictions in them and they can then enthusiastically offer that same level of respect beyond the classroom. 

 

Classroom Rules and Expectations

I want to create a classroom that welcomes students and makes them enthusiastic learners.  I love to incorporate fun activities such as shaving cream spelling, group responses, games, play-doh, and anything fun that I see on Pinterest!  In order to have the freedom to incorporate fun, hands-on activities when possible, students’ maintaining self-control and positive behavior is essential.

 Classroom Rules

1. Bring all of your materials to class daily

2. Respect yourself and others by adhering to rules and demonstrating self-control 

3. Have a positive attitude and be willing to learn

 

Classroom Procedures

• Entering the Classroom: Students are expected to enter the room quietly, have their homework out and ready to be checked and/or collected, and begin completion of the Do Now (this can be a journal entry, worksheet, or workbook page). If completed with the Do Now before the start of the lesson, the student is to read quietly.

• End of Class: At the end of class, students are to remain in their seat until formally dismissed. There will be times when students will be asked to complete Exit Tickets upon which they will be handed out, completed, and submitted in the box upon exiting the classroom. 

• Listening To/Responding To Questions: Everyone has the right to be respected when they are speaking and to ensure this, students are instructed to always raise their hand to speak and to avoid speaking when someone else is. 

• Moving Around the Room: Unless an emergency, students are required to raise their hand and not get up from their seat without permission. Students are taught simple American Sign Language to “sign” their need as to not disturb instruction but to silently communicate to me his/her need and my response will be vocal or in sign language acknowledging and approving/disapproving the request in a non-disruptive manner.

• Leaving the Room: Students are asked to sign out on the front board and walk quietly and orderly to their destination and back again.  They are expected to return to class without causing disruption and erase their name off the board. STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT SIMPLE ASL (AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE) TO COMMUNICATE THE NEED TO LEAVE THE ROOM.

• Classroom Language: Appropriate language is always required in the classroom. They are instructed to not use negative words but speak positively about other classmates and what we are studying.

• Walking in Halls: A respectful quiet is expected especially when going to and from mass. A reverence is to be shown for God as we enter into a holy place. Inside the church, hands are to be “quiet” as well as lips. The kneelers are to be placed gently down and lifted gently up. In the beginning of the school year, walking in the halls quietly and respectfully often times will be practiced.  

• Preparation: Students are expected to be prepared for class with workbooks, notebooks, pencils, glue sticks, posted notes, etc. This includes having assignments handed in or completed on time.

• Note-Taking, Journals, Completed/Submitted Assignments, Etc.: All students are expected to take notes and complete journal prompts in class.  All questions are expected to be completed through restatement of the question. Often times, some format of the RACES response will be used to respond to questions and journal prompts (Restate the question, Answer the question, Cite evidence, Explain the cited evidence in support of the answer, Sum it up - conclusion) in Language Arts and Social Studies.  Students in LA and SS will also be incorporating annotation into note-taking and developing good study habits. Binders and workbooks are checked periodically for completeness, neatness, and validity. 7th grade will be utilizing research and analysis principles, understand how to utilize primary and secondary sources, and properly cite and reference sources. 

       *STUDENTS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO WRITE IN ERASABLE PEN OR PENCILS - NO EXCEPTIONS. 

• Grading: Students will be graded on text comprehension, written response summaries, vocabulary, research and project assignments, online work submission if assigned, “Social Studies Station” work, CNN10 responses, group work, classroom activities, homework (completion only, not correctness), articles with Cornell note-taking, and notebook/journal checks. 

• CHROMEBOOKS: Students will need earbuds for class. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY GAMES ON THE CHROMEBOOKS AT ALL IN MY CLASSES. Students have asked to play games upon the completion of work. This backfires as students then rush through work to play games.  Unfortunately in this day and age, students often play enough games on electronics in the home setting, including my own children, so this is not allowed at all in my classroom.

 

Homework

I am a strong believer in making my time with students in the classroom as effective as possible reducing the need for extensive homework on a daily basis. Homework will be given for reinforcement of skills to ensure it is meaningful but reasonably limited.  

 

Homework Expectations

●Homework to be submitted by the following class  – extenuating circumstances can be discussed through parent-teacher communication.  Email is best as sometimes hand-written notes do not make their way to me.

●If a student is absent, it is their responsibility to make up work. In this modern time, all students have access to technology and can use that knowledge to contact another classmate to ask about the missed assignment or email me as well.  Extra copies of handouts are also kept in the colored magnet pockets on the board for each class.

●As necessary, extra homework may be assigned when activities are not completed in class due to classroom behavior.  Individual students may also receive additional homework when classroom assignments have not been completed and are as a result expected to be completed at home in addition to the daily assigned homework.

 

Homework should ALWAYS be copied in a planner.  Do not rely on technology.

Assignments are always due on the deadline given.

 

Additional Information

All of Ms. Newton’s classes need the following supplies: 1 ½ Binder, Binder Dividers, Binder paper hole punch (Staples, Dollar Tree, etc.), Pencils/Erasable Pens, Highlighter, Colored Pencils, Scissors, Tape, Glue, Expo Markers, Folder, Index Cards, Earbuds for Chromebooks.
