Bio:
Hello! My
name is Elizabeth Davis, and I would like to welcome you
to the 2010-2011 school year at CHIME Charter School. I
teach two sections of 6th grade Science and two sections
of Language Arts.
I received
my Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of
Nebraska at Lincoln in 2003, with a multiple subject
teaching credential. I am also currently working toward a
Masters in Science Education from California State
University Northridge. Before coming to CHIME in 2005, I
taught 5th grade in Charleston, South Carolina.
My
philosophy in education is firmly rooted in providing
meaningful, accessible curriculum and instruction for all
students. I believe that we are all smart in different
ways, and that by addressing these needs through a variety
of instructional styles, all students can be successful.
If you have
any questions or concerns, please feel free to make an
appointment at any time to come in and talk with me
Homework:
Homework
will be given everyday. Assignments will be posted on the
homework board in my classroom, as well as on my
online homework page. Homework will be explained in
class so that students understand the expectations.
Students are responsible for all homework assignments. If
a student will be absent, please call the office in
advance and let them know so your child’s hometeam teacher
can collect work from all teachers to be picked up by a
parent. Please also find a few homework buddies who you
can call with homework questions!

Student Grades:
Grades are based on a total points
system. Points will be awarded for homework, tests, and
class projects or experiments. Earned points will be
divided by possible points and multiplied by 100. Late
work will not be accepted unless it is accompanied by a
doctor’s note or an extenuating circumstance. Extra
credit is not provided; students are expected to do the
work assigned to the best of their ability and turn it in
on time.
