Welcome! 2012-2013 School Year

Welcome to 8th Grade! I will try to put important links on this site. You may email me with questions, but be sure to realize that I may not have the opportunity to get back to you immediately, MsCannizzarosemail@gmail.com


Welcome to 8th grade ELA & Social Studies!

This year we will be exploring Literature, Poetry, Writing, & American History. You will be expected to follow the classroom and school discipline code at ALL times. As it pertains to this class the rules are as follows:
1. Be responsible.
  • Be on time and prepared with all supplies everyday!
  • Complete work on time! Late homework will not be accepted unless you are legally absent from school.
  • NO GUM CHEWING!
  • No eating or drinking in the classroom.
2. Be safe.
  • Keep your hands to yourself
  • No hitting or wrestling at anytime!
  • Stay in your seats unless you have permission to leave your seat.
  • Sign out and get a pass to leave the room.
3. Be respectful!
  • Raise your hand AND wait to be called on if you want to share.
  • Do not put others down. Everyone has the right to contribute.

How do I get a good grade?

You will be required to participate in classroom discussions and projects. Homework will help to prepare you for these activities. In addition to these activities, you will have assessments in the form of quizzes and tests. Your quarter grades will be determined according to the following criteria:

Homework = ___%
Class-work/participation = ___%
Quizzes = ___%
Tests = ___%

By signing below I acknowledge that I understand what is expected of me/my child. I will do my best to meet these goals and will accept the consequences when I don't.
