For my advisory class we will be doing various enrichment assignments on certain days of the week. This schedual will present itself as classes get into a set routine. On the days in which we do not have enrichment it will be silent reading. This is where the students can do homework or read a book. I prefere the students bring a book to class of their own. Lastly advisory is a place where announcements are made, and letters home are given. For my Physical Science classes the students are to study for 20-30 minutes a day in order to learn the material presented in class. The students are also to keep a notebook which has all their completed work, and grades. Therefore parents are able to see their childs progress as assignments are handed back.

The students will have the first notebook check for chemistry. I am having them organize their notebooks only one way and if it is not done this one way they will recieve no credit for their notebook. I am doing this because there is a lack of students following directions. Therefore this assignment is an all or nothing assignment. All credit or no credit. The students must have a lable for their notes on the left side and a lable for their work on the right side of a folder. Binders, sleaves, or pocketless folders will not be accepted. Notes need to be in chronological order and the assignments as well in accordance to the title page. I hope there is no confusion or challenge to this assignment.
