Parenting Days

Child Development
2003

Welcome to a class devoted to learning all about children. This course is designed to provide a foundation of learning, which will help prepare you for working with children in your career, or as a parent later in life. Some of the topics we will study are stages and theories of development, heredity, environment, special needs children, general care of children, and issues that relate to parenthood. We will also learn about careers that relate to infants and children, such as becoming a social worker, pediatrician, children's book writer, nanny, parent and many more.

Classroom Expectations

The most important expectation I have of all of my students is RESPECT. It is vital to your success, now and later in life, to learn how to respect yourself, those around you and the objects you come in contact with. If you can follow this simple principle, you will never have any problems dealing with people at school, work, and home.

Classroom Rules

Food and drinks will not be permitted within the classroom, unless we have a Lab in the kitchen or a cooking project in class.

Deliberate misuse or damage of any object in this classroom will result in a referral to the office.

You will be held accountable for cleaning up your work area, in the classroom or kitchen. Detention or point deductions will be given to students who leave their work areas messy.

Bathroom passes will be given out the first week of school, once all of your passes have been used a tardy will be given for each additional need. Use your passes only when absolutely needed. You can earn rewards for your passes. For example, one drop test grade=4 passes.

Refer to the Bryan County Board of Education Handbook for policies related to dress code, tardies, attendance and behavior codes. All of these rules will be enforced in this classroom.

Late work will not be accepted under any circumstances. Students who are absent are responsible for asking the teacher or classmates what was missed. Only students with an excused absence will be allowed to make up tests or quizzes (these can be made up before or after school only).
