Description:
Homeroom
Welcome to exciting world of 5th grade! We have a jam packed school year filled with reading,
writing, mathematics, social studies, and science. At the end of the year, students will present
what they have learned in an exhibition.
Science
As we enter another exciting year of Science we will look closer at the preliminary stages of
each branch of science. Each class will cover a specific branch and by the end of middle school,
our graduates should have a deeper understanding of each discipline of science. Our seventh
graders will study Life Science this year and discuss subjects that are prevalent to what’s going
on in the news today like cloning and cell structure. Finally our eighth graders will focus on
Physical science where our first unit is all about water treatment.

Goals:
The Common goals stretch across each curriculum.
· Investigate problems and find a solution supported by data and evidence.
· Interpret and communicate scientific information.
· Learn how to solve problems in a team atmosphere.
· Learn how manipulate technology to express scientific results.
· Connect science to other core subjects and the real world and see how different
disciplines of science are related to the issues in everyday life.

Requirements:
Students are required to come class prepared and on time everyday. Students that misbehave
during instructional time receive the following:
· Verbal warning
· Loss of Science Privileges (this could mean the student watches his/her team on the next
experiment)
· Phone call /email to parent
· Detention
· Serious violations will result in a student being written up and sent to the Assistant
Principal, these violations could result in parental conferences or even suspension.

Homework:
Homework is a vital part of your student’s education, each assignment will correlate with what
were doing in class, and that’s why it is imperative that your child submits homework in my class
on time, this gives them extra practice in a particular area. Homework submitted late will result
in one letter grade drop unless student brings in an excused note from parent or guardian.
Homework assignments are not accepted after five days.

Make- Up Work:
Make- up work will be in a designated area in my classroom. Each grade level will have a bin
that has the make up work from the past and current week. Anything beyond two weeks will be
thrown out. I will not be responsible for keeping track of work from previous units that took place
months ago.

Extra Support: If your child is struggling in science,


please contact me and we can arrange some allotted
times after school where I can tutor and help your
student with their deficiencies.

Materials:
· Composition/Notebook is mandatory for science class; assignments CAN NOT be
completed on loose sheets of papers.
· Pencil
· Homework
