Your desks are arranged in 3’s. This is your family. Desk #1: Writer: You are responsible for taking notes when we are working in groups. Desk #2: Reader: You are responsible for reading your answers/results out loud to the rest of the class when we are working in groups. Desk #3: Go-Getter: You are responsible for gathering all materials needed by the group and to return the materials when the group is finished. You are ALL responsible for thinking, participating, and cleaning up your own mess.

What happens if I am:

As a family, you are responsible for the other members in your family. If one of them is absent, it is your responsibility to fill out the What You Missed sheet, staple any handouts that go along with it, and put it in the front of that person’s file. Do not come to me for make up work. It’s your family’s responsibility to take care of you.

What You Missed In The Best Class Ever Please fill out for any of your missing family members. Student Name: ________________________________ Date Absent: ____________________ Class Period: _______________________ What We Did In Class: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Handouts Attached? : Homework Assignment: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ What We Turned In: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your family missed you and we are glad to see your smiling face again!  Please fill this out, attach handouts, get teacher signature, and place in the front of the student’s file. Draw a pretty picture:

Thank you! Teacher Signature _______________________________

What happens if I:

You should bring your binder, textbook, and pencil to class EVERY day. If you do not have paper or pencil, check with your family first. If they can’t help you, I will give you supplies in exchange for a personal item. This isn’t the Holiday Inn. Late assignments can be turned in by the end of the day for a 5 point deduction. If they are turned in the next day, it is a 10 point deduction. No assignments can be turned in past one day late.

How does class start?

When the bell rings, you should already be in your seat. There will be directions on the SMART board to tell you what to do. We will be working every day. Do not ask what we are doing. That is why I give you instructions.

This year has the potential to be one of the best years of your life. I don’t care what grades you’ve had in the past and I don’t care what kind of trouble you’ve been in before. This is a new year and we are going to have a new start. If you are willing to follow the rules and procedures and try your best, this year will be amazing. Trust me.

How does class end?

The bell does not end class. I end class. I will give you time before the bell rings to turn in papers, get your things together, and be ready to go. When the bell rings, you are allowed to get up and leave. If you waste time during class, I will waste your time after class.

How do I:

During class work or group work, the GoGetter in your family is responsible for collecting and turning in the assignment for all family members. If you are the Go-Getter, collect all papers and turn them in to the black bin labeled with your class period. During a quiz or test, you are responsible for turning in your own paper to the black bin labeled with your class period. If it is not in the bin, I am not responsible!

Each person has a job to complete. You will receive an individual grade and a family grade. Your family will evaluate how well you participated. Everyone should contribute to the assignment. If one person in your family sucks it up, the rest of the family will not be penalized. Mostly you will work within your family. Occasionally I will put more than one family together. If you have a question, ask everyone in your group before asking me.

Your binder is your Math Bible. You will use it, study it, love it, cherish it, and most importantly, organize it. The very first page should be a copy of the class discipline plan signed by you, me, and your momma (or your daddy). Next should be your first tabbed divider labeled Notes. This is where you will keep the handouts we do in class. The next divider should be labeled Homework. This is where you will keep homework assignments unless you turn them in. Graded homework returns here.

Your third divider should be labeled Group Work. All the work you do as a group should be kept here. Once you turn it in and it’s graded, it should return here. The fourth divider is labeled Graded Assessments. No, you cannot abbreviate! You should keep all quizzes and tests here after they have been graded. The fifth divider should be labeled Other. This is for other randomness that doesn’t go into any other category. After the last divider is where you should keep your loose-leaf paper.

Start the heading on the first line of your paper, all the way to the right.
