Classroom+Expectations

My classroom expectations are:
 * 1) You arrive to my class on time or early.
 * 2) You will come prepared for class. This means binder, pencil, "Yes, I Can" attitude, and anything else you may need (calculator, colored writing implements, highlighter, ruler, etc.) If you forget something, you will not be allowed to go to you locker.
 * 3) If you need a calculator, you need to bring a **calculator**, not a **cell phone**. I have some graphing calculators but I cannot guarantee that you will be able to use one.
 * 4) If you need help, I am available afterschool Tuesday through Friday. Please stop in and I will help you with anything you may be struggling with.
 * 5) Keep your electronic devices away: cell phones, ipods, etc. I do not want to see them, and if I do, they will be mine for the rest of the period.

My classroom procedures are:
 * When you enter class, please grab the appropriate worksheet from the table by the door then go to your seat and prepare for class to start.
 * You will have 5-10 minutes to take out anything you may need, write down the objective, add the worksheet to your Table of Contents, and complete the Do Now. The Do Now may be a homework check, a lesson launch, or an important reminder.
 * If there is a homework assignment due, please take it out and place it on your desk. Homework will be graded on a 2-point basis:
 * 0 points for missing or incomplete homework
 * 1 point for homework that is attempted but missing work or problems, shows minimal effort.
 * 2 points for a completed homework; all problems done, work is shown, and final answer is circled.
 * Homework should be labeled with date, lesson, page, and problem numbers. You should leave space for corrections and corrections should be done in a different color.
 * If you need to borrow something, please ask me. You should return it before you leave my room. If you do not, you may not be allowed to borrow materials in the future.

Things I will expect you to bring each day to class:
 * A pencil
 * Your binder
 * A positive outlook

Things I would recommend to you to bring each day to class:
 * Two different color writing implements
 * A graphing calculator (scientific is acceptable, but preferably TI-83 or higher, or comparable)
 * A ruler
