Mr. Colletti AZ/US History

Welcome! Find the desk that has your name on the notecard. Have your class schedule on your desk and a pen/pencil. Do not write on card thank you!

Who is teaching me this year? Intro to Mr. C

Things you can bring in… • • • 1 - Hand sanitizer (we all need some clean in our lives) 2 - loose paper 3 - pens and pencils 4 - Kleenex (test #1 notes) 5 - expo markers and erasers 6 - Notebook this class ONLY

Things to KNOW • Seriously on this one… You will have times to use your phone in here, but it can’t be a distraction EVER. People actually were able to get through their daily lives without the interwebs and the tweeter before… You’ll manage!

Things to KNOW • This class is… this class. We have school wide rules and we have Colletti Class standards… We’re not going to use other classes as a way to determine how this class works…

Things I don’t want to hear this year… • “I wasn’t sleeping” • “I wasn’t talking” • • • “I didn’t know I couldn’t…” “did we do anything while I was gone? ” “I don’t know…” “my earphones are off” “I was just textin my mom” “I don’t deserve this grade!” “do we have to do this? ” “This is boring…” “I wasn’t looking at my phone…” “my phone doesn’t even work…” “what are we doing right now? ” “what will my grade be if…” “Do we have Extra Credit? ”

How to succeed in this class! Seriously… this is how. • 1 - Listen! • 2 - Read the directions and THEN ask questions • 3 - Try… literally, you will need to put forth effort to succeed in this class. It’s not a cake walk. • 4 - Ask questions… as often as you need to • 5 - Be ready to participate • 6 - Be nice… to yourself, me and peers… • 7 - Email me whenever you need help • 8 - Check the website everytime you miss class and complete your missing work ASAP

Syllabus • While Mr. C passes out the Syllabi, please fill in the notecard on your desk – Name: (add pronunciation if needed, please) – Email: – What grade do you expect to earn in this class: – What will you do to ensure you earn this grade: – What are some possible barriers to getting this grade: » i. e – staying up late on the tweeter…

Comfort Zone • Growth occurs when you step outside of your comfort zone. Since this classroom is built on GROWTH (more on that later) we are going to get out of our comfort zones TODAY and everyday. Listen for Mr. C’s question and direction for this next activity
