Show what you know

———————————————————————–

In 7th grade math we are learning the following STAAR Readiness and Supporting Standards:

STAAR Standards Snapshot – Grade 7 Math

STAAR Quick Reference Sheet – 7th Grade Math

———————————————————————–

Why should you be learning all of this material? :

1. This material is important because you will be applying it to real life.

2. We will be using examples of real things that you may or may not have already done in your life.

How will you be learning this material? :

1. Through fun lessons that keep you involved.

2. You will have notes to take, but you will also be doing projects, to help you and your fellow students.

3. Daily homework assignments will also be given in order for you to practice those days material and so that you may reflect on what you learned.

4. Some of the projects will be done in groups, as well as some of the in class activities. I want you to be able to figure some things out for yourselves using prior knowledge and knowledge that you have gained in this class.

Optional supplies that you will need for the year:

1. Two pencils and one red ink pen.

2. Two Grid Notebooks for notes and homework.

3. Two 2 Pocket with Prongs Paper Portfolio for your homework, and other class papers.

4. Your Mathematics books.

Grading policy

Grading policy is subject to requirements quoted in the LISD handbooks.

Tests will fall every Friday.

Quizzes may be administered at any time and may or may not be announced.

All tests and quizzes must be corrected and placed in your binder by the following Monday. Corrected Math binders will be checked at this time as well.

Homework assignments are posted on Ms. Garcia’s blog and will be turned in at the beginning of the next class.

The average of all daily work (Drills/DCR, homework and assignments) will be counted as 50% of your six- weeks grade.

The average of all test work (exams, labs, quizzes) will be counted as 50% of your six -weeks grade.

Your six – weeks Math binder has a weight of a test grade each time that it is checked. It will be checked at the end of every six weeks.

A maximum of 100 pts. may be gained on each daily assignment with regard to percent correct and complete.

A maximum of 100 pts. may be gained on each test assignment.

Any assignment not received at collection but still on that same day will be reduced by 10 points.

Any assignment received the following day will be reduced by 10 points.

All work will be completed satisfactorily at my discretion.

My grading policy is subject to change according to the policy of the School District.

Attendance Policy:

Regular school attendance is essential for the student to make the most of his/her education-to benefit from teacher-led activities, to build each day’s learning on the previous days, and to grow as an individual.

Attendance is important. You’re in class every day to learn, keep up with class assignments, pass your classes, and prepare for state mandate tests.

A student is required to attend all class meetings. If a class is missed the student is held responsible for the full requirements of the class.

Students lose credit automatically after the 8th absence (excused or unexcused. There is no distinction between an excused and an unexcused absence. Both will be counted equally.

Please be aware of two very important rules:

* A student absent from school for any reason, upon returning school, must bring a note signed by the parent that describes the reason for absence. An absence slip will be required to return to class.

* The student has to make up work missed due to any absence within two school days.

* The student should be prepared to turn-in the homework and other assignment(s) upon returning to school

Bathroom Policy:

If you have to go to the bathroom, you must raise your hand and ask to do so. You must sign the Sign In/Sign Out notebook and get a pass before you leave the room (one boy and one girl at a time). You will not be allowed to leave the room during the first 10 minutes or last 10 minutes of a period. You will not be allowed to leave during the 1^st and 6^th periods.

—————- Make your education a top priority.—————-

I firmly believe that most people can be successful in school and that the amount of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice is what separates those who are successful from those who are not.

If you are absent, you want to get the assignments and notes as fast as you can. If you can, call your classmates and ask them for the assignments. If you can’t call anyone, you should ask your classmates for the work in the morning on the day that you get back.

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to my Math 7th Blog where you will find some of the different activities we do in class daily.

This year many students of M. B. Lamar Middle School are taking their Math 7^thlessons with me. This is an exciting experience for all of us and we hope to learn and have fun at the same time.

It is my ultimate goal to help students understand and like the Math subject.

I hope this site helps you understand what we do in class every day. Please do not hesitate to ask me questions or to suggest changes to my blog.

See you around,

Ms. Garcia
