This is the default seating arrangement, with students sitting in alphabetical order to begin with and seats facing towards the teacher/projector/board. Over time, I will change the seating accordingly depending on student accommodations and behavior. The layout may change as well depending on what we will do in class, i.e. group assignments, exams, etc.
My goal is to have a weekly powerpoint containing a weekly agenda, homework, relevant standards, and other announcements that I will present every day. I will also make this powerpoint accessible on my website so students and teachers can access this later.
Emergency exits, fire extinguishers, shelter kits and first aid kits are clearly marked. Procedures for fires, lockdowns, and shelter in place will follow the school’s procedures accordingly.
Students are expected to come to every class prepared and backpacks under their desk/behind their chair. Having said that, extra supplies will be located in cabinets against the wall.
