Class Notebook:
You should have a three ring binder by Friday August 27th. This will be used solely for this class to hold notes, assignments, and tests. This notebook will be checked for quiz grades. You must keep a table of contents and keep all materials in order and organized. I will hand out the table of contents sheets for you to fill out. All notes, assignments, and tests/test review should go in this binder.
Record Book:
The Texas Education Agency requires that every student taking an Agricultural Science class maintain a record book. Every student in this call will have an online record book. You will be given time in class to work on it. You are expected to keep the record book current. This is a grade.
Absent Work:
All absent work will be kept in drawers labeled for each day of the week. YOU are responsible for getting the work and turning it in to the late assignment drawer. If you do not get your work, I will not have it for you.
Expectations:
I expect each of you to participate in all class activities and projects. I also expect each of you to come prepared with all your materials. This is an elective but we will do work everyday.
