IDEAS TO LIVE BY IN MR. COOK'S CLASSROOM...
1. BE RESPECTFUL.
We all deserve to be treated with respect. Respecting ourselves is the first step - understanding that you have the potential to do great things in this classroom is key. You can become great and you'll do it with the help of everyone around you - your teacher, your team and all of your classmates.
2. BE PREPARED.
"The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare." -Bob Knight, basketball coach
All of us have the will to succeed - we want to accomplish great things. What many people lack in becoming great is the will to prepare. Are you willing to commit to doing all of your homework? Studying for all of your tests and quizzes? Asking good questions? Bringing your required materials to class each day? If the answer to these questions is yes, then you're already on the road to success.
3. BE A TEAM PLAYER.
This classroom is a team and throughout the year you'll be working with small groups as a member of a team. Success for all of your teammates depends on learning to work together. No one alone is smarter than everyone together.
