AIS Math & 6RE

I am so happy to be your 6th grade math teacher this year! Here is our math classroom plan focusing on Safe, Respectful, and Responsible expectations for our class. Please review the plan at home for homework and also share it with your parents. 

Safe

Keep hands, feet and objects to yourself.

Listen to the teacher.

Students are expected to follow the South Huntington School District Code of Behavior.

Respectful

Upon entering the room,

• Please sit in assigned seat and take out your materials

• Listen for instructions.

• Act polite, friendly, and helpful to the teacher and peers.  

Responsible

 Students are expected to be in their seats with all their math materials when the bell rings. 

 Students are expected to have the proper class materials everyday. The following items are needed for math class:

• 5 subject spiral notebook

• Agenda  

• Pocket folder

• Highlighter

• 3 or more sharpened pencils daily

• iReady Workbook

Homework will be given regularly.  The assignment will be written on the board and should be copied everyday into your agenda.  Assignments are due the next day unless otherwise stated. Homework must be neat and organized with all work shown; a list of answers is not acceptable. Homework is an integral part of learning. In addition, you will receive a homework grade as part of your quarterly grade.

Students are required to make up any work they miss when absent. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed. Please ask a classmate about the missed work or email me.

Tests or quizzes will be given often in class. Students will be told in advance of any tests. Students who are absent for tests are expected to take them as soon as they return. Tests and quizzes will not be postponed for students that miss class for music S.G.I.’s, field trips, discipline reasons, etc…

Grading Policy- Your quarter grade accounts for test and quiz grades, homework completion, class participation, and preparedness.

Quizzes                                                    25%
