Expectations NOTEBOOKS: I strongly recommend a three-ring binder and spiral notebook. This is a great tool that helps many students keep their work organized. Many notes and examples will be taken each day. Handouts, tests, and quizzes will also be put in. . Organization is the key. The binder will be a wonderful referral tool to prepare for tests, quizzes, and quarterlies.

EFFORT/BEHAVIOR: I expect all of my students to give me all of their effort and attention while in my class and while doing any assignment. I also expect the respect that comes with being a teacher. They can expect the same from me. PARTICIPATION: Class participation is highly encouraged! Students benefit immensely when they take an active part in their learning.

PREPAREDNESS: Please come to class prepared each day PREPAREDNESS: Please come to class prepared each day. This includes binder, pencils , and calculator.
