All About Me My background I grew up in Albertville. I attended Albertville High, and graduated from Jacksonville State University. Then I received my Master’s from the University of Alabama. I have a wonderful husband, Matt and a son named Eli. I also have a dog named Axle. My experience I’ve been teaching for 4 years.

Before Class Go to the restroom; you will not be allowed to leave the classroom once you have entered Get all materials out of your locker that you will need Enter the classroom quietly and begin warmup

Warm-Ups When you enter the room, immediately begin the warm-up. Warm-Ups are posted on the side board. It will be on material that we have previously covered or AHSGE review material. You will turn in warm-ups every two weeks for a grade.

Leaving the Room I will dismiss you from the room. You must be in your seat Each row must be clean and in order before students will be dismissed.

Required Materials You need to bring to class daily: Your Textbook: we will occasionally have book checks throughout the year Calculator: you are required to have a calculator Notebook: your notebook will be divided into three sections: Warmup; Notes; and Homework Pencils: your classwork must be done in pencil; I will not grade work done in pen

Notebook Your notebook needs to be divided into three sections: warmups; hw; and notes; classwork (optional) HW will be labeled: ex: HW #1… You need to date and label all work. EX: 1.2 CW

Grading Policy All work is graded on the point system. Total Points/Points Possible Test: you will have a test every 3 to 4 lessons; all section tests are 100 points, but Chapter Tests are 150 points (multiple choice). Pop Quizzes: pop quizzes are 20 to 50 points Homework: you will have homework just about every night; your homework will be graded every day. HW is worth 5 points each (effort). If we have 20 HW assignments that is like a test grade. On the third homework zero, you will start getting detention. On the sixth homework zero you get an office referral. Classwork: classwork will be worksheets; chapter reviews and group activities.
