Stay a Step Ahead of Your Child… ***HINT: Past studies show that if students really
try on the homework, they can pass my class. Homework
is given generally Monday through Thursday.
Students are expected to do homework on the day
assigned (see sample Homework log). Homework is collected on Fridays (or last day of the
week) at the beginning of class. Get
your student used to staying on top of homework ON THEIR OWN, by doing spot
checks (especially Thursday night). |
What to expect… Quizzes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday on problems from
the homework. Labs Mondays and/or Fridays. Try not to be absent on those days. If so, it is your student’s responsibility
to make it up at lunch on the following Wednesday. Tests every other Thursday
are based on concepts covered in class and homework. Students may use homework and notes to help
on their test. Homework
Logs are half sheet sized on test weeks and have a study guide on the back
with Vocabulary they should know and some sample questions. Please encourage students to take good care of their
books and cover them. Remember, if they
lose the book, the fine is $55. |
