Homework

Homework (Independent Practice)is given daily including weekends. Homework will be checked daily. Homework cannot be made up for credit. Homework is almost always included in the notes packet for the day. Assignments are always listed on the side board in your classroom. I understand there is a lot of public controversy on the benefits of homework in education. In my experience as a math teacher, it only increases your level of comprehension. Math is one of these subjects where one concept can be asked in a multitude of ways. Most kids can answer the different types of problems with some guidance from their teachers - but can they think on their own?! Going over homework each day gives me some feedback as to whether or not you understand the concept. Try your hardest and I will try and not make homework become a royal pain!

Extra Help

All students must have a pass to attend extra help. If extra help is during lunch, please go down to the lunch room and sign out. This is done so that if a parent or teacher needs to find you they know where you can be found.

Absences

When you are absent, your homework and notes will be placed in a folder in the absent bin in front of the classroom. As soon as you return from your absence you should check the folder for the work missed. Although I do not require you to turn in missed homework it is my suggestion that you make sure you are able to do the assignment. You might also find that you need to attend extra help when you are absent. See the extra help schedule for the days I am available.

Bonuses

You can earn up to ten points on a test grade each quarter by doing the weekly bonuses.  You can get your tests signed and I often give bonuses for major holidays. Take advantage of these opportunities to bank points.  Don't wait until you have a bad grade to worry about scrambling for points. Think ahead!
