Welcome to 8th Grade ELA! I'm Ms. Ricks and this is my first year teaching. I'm looking forward to this new year. A few reminders that in my class students are expected to: 

• Use respectful language at all times
• Be respectful to others and of others at all times
• Begin bellwork promptly after entering the classroom
• Be prepared with materials including pencil, paper, and Chromebook
• Wait for me to call on them before speaking in class 
• Keep their phones put away
• And remember to not throw anything in my classroom
