Objective: Students will review classroom rules and begin discussion of success and how we define success.

Bellwork: Get out your FACTS notebook.

What does FACTS stand for?What is the purpose of FACTS?What will we cover in my classroom?

How do you answer a question?How many tardies before you get a

detention?◦On your 5th tardy you get a lunch detention◦On your 10th tardy you get a 1 hour detention◦On your 15th tardy you get a late school

How many bathroom breaks are you allowed per Quarter?◦What happens if you exceed that number?

Where/When is food/drink allowed?How/When do you exit the

classroom?What should you bring with you to

class?Who should get materials off my

desk? When?

I will give you 3 minutes to think of a special fact about your name:–Are you named after someone? –What does your name mean? –Is there something that makes your name different or unique?–Example: My name is Nichole and it’s spelled differently because my mom didn’t know how to spell Nichole

In my class I will sometimes as you to find your elbow partner.

Your elbow partner is the person sitting usually to your left or right who you can share without have to get up and move out of your seat.

I want you to tell your elbow partner YOUR Name and 1 fact about your name.

I will be calling on each elbow partner group and you will STAND and introduce YOUR PARTNER.

Tell us THEIR NAME and 1 fact about their name.

Whoever is the tallest will start.

First we need to setup your notebooks, if you do not have a notebook I have some I can sell you for a Quarter.

Write your name and FACTS on the front cover. You MUST have a notebook specific for FACTS class!

This is not to be shared or combined with other classes and you will turn this in.

If you are absent from class you are responsible for anything you missed. I have a sample class notebook that you can borrow to copy your missing Bellwork and notes.

For today’s bellwork I want you to write about what success means to you? What do you think of, what does it mean?

I will give you 5 minutes to write.

Now underneath your finished Bellwork on the next blank line write the work Notes:

This is the format for your FACTS notebook. DATE Bellwork Notes

Each of these should start their own line and may go multiple lines but should not run together.

You may choose to have multiple dates on one page, or start a new page for each date whatever works best for you.

What was our objective for today?On our next class day we will

continue with this theme of success with a group assignment that you will work on in class.
