Mrs. L. Snipes
8th Grade Math/GA Studies
Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year at BRMS!!!
I am genuinely looking forward to embarking on the adventure of educating a new group of wonderful students! This year is guaranteed to be exciting and fun! We will be utilizing a block schedule for classes. This will enable us to have time to focus intently on the objectives while engaging students to accomplish each task. I am ecstatic and hope that you are as well!
You will find information concerning expectations for my classes below. I have designed my class to promote student involvement within my lessons.
STARTERS:
Math - PROBLEM OF THE DAY:
We will begin each class period with a problem of the day. These will be recorded on a handout that I give to them. The problem will be followed by the answer. After four weeks, I will take these up and grade. This will be counted as a test grade. We will go over them together in class each day. This should be an easy 100. Parents, please check on a regular basis to avoid a poor grade!
GA Studies – GAS UP:
We will begin each class period with a problem of the day. These will be recorded in his/her notebook. These questions are CRCT preparation questions which will provide the students with a great resource before taking the test in the April 2009. We will go over these in class together daily.
TESTS/QUIZZES:
We will have periodic quizzes of lessons followed by unit tests. All assignments and upcoming quizzes/tests will be posted on my homework website (use link at the topy of this page).
CLASSWORK/HOMEWORK:
Many times assignments will be started in class and finished as homework. I will post all homework assignments on the website listed above. You should check the website each night for updates since assignments may sometimes change after class has concluded each day.
PROJECTS:
These will be assigned at random times throughout the school year. Due dates and detailed information will be given on the website.
EXPECTATIONS:
I expect each student to come to class prepared with materials in hand. Dealing with children who come to class unprepared wastes valuable time. Every student should be responsible enough to do his/her part.
CALCULATING AVERAGES:
All tests and assignments will be based on total points. Projects will be worth 100 points (but may count more than once), tests will be worth 100 points, quizzes will be worth 50 points, and classwork/homework will be worth 25 points.
