Welcome Please look at your schedule and make

Welcome! Please look at your schedule and make sure you are supposed to be in Mrs. Nolan’s science class, room 304. Please put your supplies in the corresponding locations, written in chalk on the countertops. It will make it easier for me to put them away!

Procedures Power. Point Mrs. Nolan 7 th Grade Life Science

ABOUT ME n This is my 8 th year teaching. n My hobbies include anything outdoors and sleeping. n I LOVEEEE the Little Mermaid. n I have two miniature Schnauzers named Ford & Cubby. They are my pride and joy!

This is Ford!!!

GRADES n n n Quizzes, Minor Labs/Mini-Projects = FORMATIVES (30% of grade) Tests, Major Labs/Projects = SUMMATIVES (70% of grade) l There will be a CUMULATIVE Midterm in December, and a CUMULATIVE Final in May (but there is no Science Milestone in 7 th grade) The little tricks of grading: l If you fail a lot of Formatives, but pass all of your Summatives… you can still fail. l Summative grades can be applied to the Recovery Policy – but NOT Formative grades

WORKING LUNCH n n If you are expected to attend a working lunch, you will be given a pass to come to my classroom from your lunch period. If you are assigned and do not show up, there will be consequences.
