Question:  If you were in Ms. Milleson's science class last semester answer the following question.  If you were not, sit quietly.

What is one expectation or routine about class that you would like to share with a student that is coming from Mr. Weismann's science class?  

Some ideas if you're stuck:
Daily expectation - What do you do when you get to class? 
Assignments we do in class
What happens if you don't have HW with you or it's not done?
How are wm-ups completed?

Welcome

Find a seat and sit quietly.
