*See class syllabus (above) and everything below for classroom rules & expectations
Google Classroom:
Daily assignments (lessons and HW) will be posted in Google Classroom. I always post the answer keys for the notes. This will be helpful for studying or for when a student is absent. Student workbooks will remain in the classroom. Please check the answer keys for the notes in GC if you need help with HW or if you are studying.

Weekly Agenda:
The weekly agenda will be posted in the Google Classroom stream at the start of each week. This will include the homework assignments.
**The agenda can change at any time.
iReady Classroom:
Each student should have a 3-ring binder that will contain all math materials. Each student will receive the workbook pages to put in their binder at the start of each unit. Be responsible - it is up to you, the student, to keep your binder neat and organized and to not lose your materials.
iReady Pathways:
Students should work on their iReady pathways regularly. They should complete and pass 5 pathways by the end of the 5 week period AND a total of 10 pathways by the end of each quarter for a grade. The pathways count as 10% of their overall average. I will be continuously reminding the students about this. We will have some time during our class period to work on this throughout each quarter but they should also be completing pathways regularly at home.
Parents: When your child says that they don't have any homework - they can always work on their Math and ELA pathways!
Extra Help:
I stay after for extra help on Monday (every other week) & Tuesday in room 606. I cannot stay after every Monday - this will be written on the classroom board each week.
Grading:
10%: iReady Pathways (See above)
90%: All other assignments (tests, quizzes, hw, activities, etc.)
HW will be assigned 1-3 times per week. HW will be checked or collected each time it is assigned.
Late work will be accepted but you will lose points based on how late the assignment was turned in
Grades will be posted in Google Classroom and updated weekly.
I use different emojis in the Google Classroom gradebook to differentiate between the quarters.
For QUARTER 1, the emoji is 🍂🏈 . Each graded assignment will contain this emoji.
For QUARTER 2, the emoji is ____ . Each graded assignment will contain this emoji.
For QUARTER 3, the emoji is ____. Each graded assignment will contain this emoji.
For QUARTER 4, the emoji is ____ . Each graded assignment will contain this emoiji.
Supplies:
Pencils/Erasers - Make sure you have a supply for the ENTIRE school year!!
Tissues
3-Ring Binder
Fully-charged Chromebook - brought to class daily (charger too!)
Each student will have a calculator that will remain in the classroom. It is helpful for them to have a scientific calculator at home to help with HW and studying
Headphones/earbuds for iReady pathways
Bathroom Passes:
The students are all given 3 bathroom passes to use during our class each quarter. Any unused bathroom passes will be extra credit at the end of the quarter.
Corrections:
Students can complete corrections on any assignment for 50% back. (ex. if you receive a 50% you can complete corrections and receive 25% back for a final grade of 75%).
Corrections can only be completed once on a single assignment. Take your time and do it right!
All work must be shown on a separate sheet of paper or on the original assignment in different color ink. This includes True/False questions and Multiple Choice questions. Students MUST provide work and/or an explanation to get credit for the corrections.
Students should hand in the corrections and the original assignment for credit.
