questions/problems.• Write responses in complete sentences! • NO WORK = NO CREDIT• Copy examples while taking notes.
ASKING QUESTIONS• Questions are a very important
tool when learning!• Raise your hand to ask a
question and wait to be called on before asking your question.
• Do NOT be embarrassed to ask a question, someone else in class is probably thinking the same thing you are.
• Ask questions as soon as you are confused; someone else is probably just as confused!
Homework• You must have two homework buddies that you
can always contact: phone, email, Facebook, twitter, etc.
• All assignments will be posted online on our class page.
• No make-up homework will be available for students who are present in class the day it is assigned and the day it is due.
REVIEWING HOMEWORK• I will check that the homework is complete, if it is you
receive the total points it’s worth, if it’s not you receive a 0.
• All homework assignments will be reviewed in class so that you can see how well you are doing!
• When reviewing homework: Have your textbook open to the correct page and your
notebook with the answers open or have completed worksheet on your desk.
Correct your answers: put a check or copy the correct way to solve the problem.
If you have difficulty with the homework, please see me for help!
Tardy• WITH A PASS:
If you arrive to class tardy with a pass, quietly hand it to me and join in the class activity.
• WITHOUT A PASS: If you arrive late to class without a pass,
quietly go to your seat and join in the class activity. You will receive a 15-minute detention.
If you are tardy to my class twice in one week, you will receive a 30-minute detention.
Lockers• Before School• Before or After Lunch• After School• Please do not ask to
visit your locker during class.
• If you forgot something, borrow from a friend.
Absences• It is your responsibility to show me any work that
was due the day you were absent.• You have 2 days for every 1 day you are absent to
make up the missed work.• All handouts/worksheets will be available to you
upon your return.• Once the work is made up, it is your responsibility
to show me it so that I can give you credit.
Our Classroom• The classroom is a place for ALL of us to learn.• If we want a clean classroom, then we must keep it
that way. Clean up after yourself! Throw away all garbage!
• The supplies we have must last us all year. Be careful while using the supplies. Return supplies in the same condition you receive them. Please remember not to take them with you. Once the supplies are gone, we can no longer complete
engaging activities that involve them.
SHARPENING YOUR PENCIL
• Before class As soon as you enter the classroom, you may use
the sharpener on the way to your seat. Remember: you must be seated when the bell rings!
• During group work You may go directly to the sharpener and directly
back to your seat without disturbing others. • Never more than once a day.
