  1. I expect myself to pay attention in class and if I don't understand something to put in the extra time to figure it out. But if our whole class doesn't understand something I expect Ms. Smith to go over it until we all understand it. I also expect the class to treat each other with respect including the teacher. I think that some good qualities that teachers, students, and a class embodies is showing each other respect and understanding if someone doesn't understand the lecture that we should help them.

  3. The qualities that good teachers and students embody are listening to others and sharing ideas they have with others in the class. Expectations I have for myself are to share ideas in class, take new ideas in consideration and work hard to get a good grade. I expect Mrs. Smith to be a hard teacher but a very good teacher with lots of fun ideas and a great supporter throughout the year. What I expect from the class is to have a fun year and bounce a lot of new ideas off of each other.

  5. I think that what good qualities are in a teacher are the ability to appeal to every persons different way of learning. The good qualities in a student is the ability to understand and follow the teacher when something is confusing and dont get left behind while the teacher is instructing. The expectations i have of myself is that I will try to do the best I can at keeping up in the class and not falling behind. The expectations I have of smith is that she does what she can to make sure that I dont. I also expect the class to not fall behind and drag me down with them.

  6. What I imagine a good teacher is a person who will put forth time in effort, not just for money, but for the improvement of a student's learning and that they share ideas with the class. Students do the same in return where they share their ideas with the class. I believe that the class as a whole should embody a friendly atmosphere where students and the teacher share ideas freely and help each other out, just like a true Arapahoe Warrior. I expect the teacher to help the class improve, while I expect myself and my classmates to put forth a lot of effort into the class. Like my classmate Spencer said, I believe that the class should respect one another and give each other encouragement.

  10. I think good qualities that good students, teaches, and a class should have is being helpful. If they teacher or student needs help,then they should be helpful and be respectful and help them out. They should also be able to laugh at them self when the student or teacher makes a mistake. Expectations that I have myself are listening in class. The teacher should also listen to the student. I also expect that the class will respect one another no matter is asked or said in class.

  12. What I imagine in a good teacher is a person who is respectful and is willing to help. A teacher that makes learning more enjoyable by doing thing out of the ordinary to catch your attention and make you learn. Students should try their best and be respectful to the teacher during class. I don't want the other students to be distracting so I can get the best learning. I hope to get a B at the minimum but I will try hard for an A. I also want to finish the class with no missing work.

  13. What I imagine in a good teacher would to be very clear and to the point with their lessons. I think of myself as a student who doesn't apply well to details so I can adapt to a lesson better if it is short and to the point because I lose attention and interest very quickly.

  18. Good teachers, students, and classes all need respect, honesty, kindness, trustworthiness, helpfulness, and many more virtues. I expect myself to have my grades a B or higher and make new friends. I expect for Mrs. Smith to be helpful throughout the year and increase our English and writing skills. The class should have manners and follow directions at all times. Also to get homework done every night.

  19. What I imagine in a good teacher is a persons who loves to help and be with kids. A good teacher would be patient and understanding. The teacher would help us on our work and give us extra time if we don't do good on it of just don't understand it. The expectations I put on myself are to have at least a B and at most an A. I want to pay more attention and do ALL homework.

  20. Good teachers should be funny, smart, nice but not to easy, and they should have a good personality, also helpful. A good teacher should ask question to make people think hard and they should be fun to be around.

    Good students should also be nice and helpful. They should also be able to ask question and to help other kids who need help.

    A good class should have some fun but also work hard when needed to. A good class should help each other and work together and be respectful.

    I want to get good grades, be able to help others, and to get to know technology. I want to use more technology and get to know new people. I want to join clubs and have fun!

    I think that Mrs.Smith will help us, she will be funny, make us work hard and give us chances to improve. I think that she will teach us new things about technology and of course writing and reading. I think she will help those who struggle in reading or writing like me, I am looking forward to this school year.

    1. I think that this class will be fun but hard working. I think that it will be goofy at times but also hard working. We will most likely help each other and talk a lot.

  21. Good student get their work done on time and always listens to the teacher and his classmates. He would not argue with anybody even if they make a mistake. A good teacher would help a student if he needs help and informs him of his mistake. A good teacher would also keep the kids excited and is strict in a fair way. A good class would listen to the teacher and work together. They would not argue with each other. I expect myself to do well in class and listen to everybody else. I also think that I will be forgetful and will have some bad days but not often. I think that Mrs. Smith will be very good at explaining things and will be an exciting teacher. I think the class will talk a lot but will listen. I think the class will do fine on the homework. Overall I think everybody will do well.

  22. A good teacher would be as helpful as possible. a good teacher would also make class fun for everybody and not just some people. A good student would not fall behind and always turn stuff in on time. A good student would also take advantage of opportunities like redoing work. A good class has fun while also being serious to learn. A good class should work as a unit and should not let anyone fall behind. My expectations for this class are that we all work together and have fun while learning.

  24. I think a good class embodies active learners and a strong yet fun teacher. I believe that a good class should include the use of technology. The expectations I have for myself are to be a focused, hardworking learner and to thrive in this new work environment. I so hope to earn an A in this class. My expectations for the class are that we get along well, communicate well and help each other when we can. I don't think everyone will be all that computer savvy and therefore, we will need help at times. I am expecting Mrs. Smith to be fun, but knowledgeable and helpful. I expect no one to be rude or disrespectful in class.

  27. I think that these must be qualities they must be respectful to each other. When someone don´t understand one thing then we have to help him as long as possible. A good class is a class were everyone helps everyone. My expectation is to do the best I can. The important thing is that we are a community.

  34. I think some good qualities that teachers should have are patience and understanding. sometimes students have a hard time completing work and most of the time teachers don't understand. some good qualities that students should posses are self control to stop talking and hard work ethic to get their work done. I also think that as a whole the class should embody a good work ethic as well so that they can get their work done and as well as self control so that the teacher can teach the class quickly and efficiently. the expectations that I have for myself is to get of to a good start at the begging of my four years of high school. I also expect that Ms.Smith will be a good and understanding teacher. I expect that that this will be a hardworking and fun class were we accomplish a lot.

  35. I expect Smith to be pretty chill but still teach us what we need to know. Since this is an all boys class we wont have feminine distractions which will help us focus. I will do my best to stay organized and focus.

    I believe that a good class is a disciplined class yet is fun and relaxed. My idea of a good teacher is somebody that will not only teach us the subject but also incorporate life skills in the class. The qualities a good student would have are being able to focus pay attention and get assignments done and in on time. A good student is also one who is organized and follows all directions.

  36. These are the qualities that I think make a class,its students and the teacher excellent. A good class has students who pay attention are not easily distracted from what the teacher wants them to do. They are hard working and do not procrastinate or goof off. The students must respect the teacher and aim to do the things they are supposed to. The teacher thrives through the students and must be serious but also know how to have some fun. He teaches must keep the class on track and keep them focused. I expect of my self to follow the teachers rules and do the assignments she gives us. I expect of skin to teach us what we need to know. I expect this class to be fun but help us learn a lot.

  37. Teachers are not meant to be friends, but these are the qualities I look for in a good teacher. I would like Mrs. Smith to be nice, and a teacher that I can turn to when I need help. That is always nice, but the most important is for her to help me learn.

    For my classroom and classmates I hope that this is a good learning environment. A place where no one is left behind and we all work forward together.

    Lastly my expectations in my self are the highest. I expect to be attentive, focused, and let others help me learn.

  38. In my opinion, qualities of a good teacher are to be friendly, understanding of conflicts outside of school, and help students retain information about the lesson. Qualities of a good student could be completing work on time and being friendly. Qualities of class would be to help each other through the learning process and to be friendly.

    My expectations, for myself, would be to complete homework on time and to participate in class. From previous students of hers, I think I can expect Mrs. Smith to be fair and understanding, direct, and very fun.

  39. My thoughts of a great teacher is someone who is exciting, and is enthusiastic for teaching the subject. I've had teachers who don't really care about the students education in this area, and isn't there favorite subject (or they don't act like it).

    The students should also help and contribute to the teacher and the rest of the class by being active, and also being enthusiastic for the subject, or at least try to learn something.

    I think the class needs to be comfortable with one another and are ready to ask questions and get help from the teacher. But mostly everyone just needs to be cool with others and are not afraid to make mistakes in front of them.

    The expectations of myself are to have an A, of course, and to get better at writing. I don't really enjoy it, but I do need some guidance in to what good essay paragraphs have.

    The expectations of Mrs. Smith are the same as what I picture in a great* teacher. To be enthusiastic and to be able to understand and adjust to each students learning capabilities and challenges.

    The expectations for the class is just to feel comfortable with me and how my personality is.

  40. My expectations in this class are to pay attention and be respectful. Another thing is if we have group projects,then I will be the one who works hard on the project. I will go to Miss Smith if I need help (such as when I first got here) and will take notes in class on what we are learning. One thing that a good student embodies is not procrastinating (which is hard for me) so I will work hard not to do that.

    A good teacher is funny, supportive, but also strict and a little bit scary. Also, I like it when they challenge their students instead of doing busy work - it helps the students get more learning in.

    Reading is great too!!!

    What I imagine in a good teacher someone who helps students with problems in their homework or on their tests. Students should always come to class ready to learn and listen. I expect myself to get better than a B so that means I have to work as hard as I can and I need to keep up with my homework. I also will need to study a lot for tests so I can get good grades on my tests.
