5. Assignments and Grading
I give TWO types of assignments --- exit slips or practice (“batting cage”) and assessment (“game”). While some assignments will not receive a grade, EVERY assignment COUNTS.
Weekly “Daily Mental Math” quizzes (every Friday) are the same as a regular assignment.
Weekly Khan Academy---students will receive a weekly grade for finishing their assigned work for the week. This is used to reinforce the week’s learning target.

6. Grades (Cont)
Unit Tests will occur approximately every 2-3 weeks. Each will include multiple choice, short answer and extended response questions. Study Guides will be provided.
A cumulative final will be given at the end of the year. This will cover all 6th grade learning targets.
Unit Tests and the final count TWICE as much as a regular assignment.

7. Late Work Policy
DEADLINES MATTER!! All assignments will have a due date. It is essential that students complete & return assignments in a timely fashion. For this reason, my late work policy is as follows. . .
1st qtr – Assignments will be accepted up to 3 days late with no consequence.
2nd qtr – Assignments will be accepted up to 2 days late with no consequence.
3rd/4th qtr – Assignments will be accepted 1 day late with no consequence.
*The school policy regarding make-up work following an absence will apply.

8. Homework How often will my child have homework?
Expect homework in Math class approximately 2-3 days a week. Some students may finish in class. I rarely collect an assignment on the day it is made so feel free to ask your child to see his/her work.
How can I know how my student is performing?
Contact me anytime for an update on your child’s progress or check grades through the Parent Portal of Infinite Campus. Remember, they see every graded paper--- so ask your child!!

10. Interesting statistics…
The average student spends 90 minutes per night on homework assignments. The time is broken down as follows:
15 minutes looking for the assignment. . .
11 minutes calling a friend for the assignment. . .
23 minutes explaining why the teacher is mean & does not like children. . .
8 minutes in the bathroom. . .
10 minutes getting a snack. . .
7 minutes checking the TV schedule. . .
6 minutes telling the parents that the teacher never explained the assignment. . .
10 minutes sitting at the kitchen table actually DOING the assignment!
It’s going to be a GREAT year!!!
