HOMEWORK:

I expect you to ALWAYS show your work. Do NOT just write down the answers. I will not accept any homework that does not have work shown. Also, circle your answer for each question. Homework is graded on completion, not accuracy.

  • Use your Interactive Notebook to help you with your homework.

GRADED ACTIVITIES (Class work, Quizzes or Tests):

I expect you to ALWAYS show your work. Circle your answer for each question. Reviewing your Interactive Notebook nightly will help you be successful on GRADED ACTIVITIES.

  • Class work – review of homework assignments as well as bell ringers
  • Quizzes – review of class work assignments
  • Tests – review of quizzes and a mastery of skills

CLASS EXPECTATIONS:

Be on Time!

  • Every student must be in the room before the tardy bell rings working on the daily bell ringer.

Be Respectful!

  • Remember to raise your hand to speak and listen when others are talking. When others are sharing ideas, answering questions, and working problems on the board, please value their thoughts and opinions.

Be Prepared! Be Prepared! Be Prepared!

  • When you come to class, always bring your agenda, a pencil with an eraser, lined notebook paper, your Interactive Notebook, a glue stick, homework (if we had any) and a positive attitude for learning.

DAILY ROUTINE:

  • Bell ringer: complete and check
  • Review homework or class work from the previous day
  • Lesson or GRADED ACTIVITY
  • You will take notes in your Interactive Notebook. Use your Interactive Notebook to help with homework and to study for GRADED ACTIVITIES.
