Happy New Years! Welcome to 2019

1. Happy New Years! Welcome to 2019 Re-Introducing Expectations and Outline

2. Expectations and Norms • Respect others at all times. Be responsible, caring, and helpful. This counts towards citizenship grading (O/S/N/U). • For your own benefit, complete homework on time. Homework will be reviewed as a class at the beginning of every class. • Have completed homework taken out at the beginning of every class period to qualify for math dollars. If I have to wait and pass by you to take out your homework, you may not receive math dollars for completed work. • 12 math dollars = 5 candies and sticker (you can choose). You can only claim prizes at the very end of class, before school, during lunch, or after school. Prizes will not be given at the beginning or middle of class. • Leftover unused bathroom passes at the end of the term can be used to gain one math dollar per bathroom pass. Leftover bathroom passes from previous terms cannot be used as a bathroom pass for the current term.

3. Other Notices and Expectations • Give one bathroom pass or TWO math dollars to go to the bathroom. • When the first bell rings, be quiet and seated. Also, be seated and quiet before being dismissed. If the whole class is seated and quiet when the bell rings, you’ll all save yourself some time. If we have to wait for even one person, no one is dismissed. • Be quiet when you hear a countdown or bell. Students who are still talking will have their name written on board for detention. • Students with their names on the board need to complete their detention minutes during the same class and need to be seated. • Homework and goal problems do not count toward your grade but do count towards work habit rating (O/S/N/U). Only tests count toward your grade. For each homework missed, your work habit rating decreases by one letter. Be sure to make up missed work to raise your grade again!

4. PAWs and Defenses • During PAWs make good use of time and study, review, or complete homework. There may be a limit of 20-25 students on most PAWs days, so if you are interested in attending PAWs for a specific reason, be sure to get a PAWs required stamp. • On a few select days, PAWs may be strictly reserved for defense taking or completing work related to defenses only. • If there is no defense packet, students must complete at least two worksheets related to whatever concept category the student wishes to defend/retake. Worksheets can be previous ones we completed or even worksheets from the internet, printed out. The new defense grade will replace the original score, regardless of if it’s higher or lower than the original score.
