General Instructional Strategies

In my classroom students will learn in a variety of ways. These include large group instruction, individual student work,
small group instruction, and hands-on-activities using manipulatives to provide concrete models to illustrate abstract ideas.

Homework

Homework is necessary to enable students to master concepts introduced in class and will be given every night. The homework for the chapter will be posted in the classroom at the beginning of each chapter. Students need to keep a math folder for homework, class work, warm ups and notes. Students will need graph paper and #2 pencils for this course.

Grades

Percentage grades are given for all work assigned, tests, preparation for class, special
projects, and folders. Grades will be calculated using the county grading scale as follows:
```
		90-100			A
		80-89			B
		70-79			C
		60-69			D
		0-59			F
```

Family and School Connections

It is extremely important that family, and school work together to insure success. If your parents have
questions or concerns they may contact me at school 377-3800, or use the convenient email link on this page.
