As students enter the “opening” (like a bellringer) is displayed. They work quietly on this as we settle down
The “work session” is the bulk of our class and includes partner/ group work and opportunity to move. At this time we take notes and practice relevant skills
The “closing” wraps up our class time with a summative question or statement of learning.

12. Syllabus GRADING AND REPORTING:
Numerical grades will be issued to indicate academic performance. Class averages will be determined using standards-based grading, which generates a grade based on a student’s mastery of specific learning standards. Parents may access Synergy (the free online grade book) to view your student’s grades and attendance. Assignments are based on a point scale, rather than a percentage. Below is a breakdown of the different points awarded per assignment.
Unit Tests: 100 points Projects and Performance Tasks/Quizzes: 50 points Classwork: 25 points Homework, Bell Ringers, Exit Tickets, etc.: 10 points
