My Class
A few things to know about my class.
We cover a lot of information in 6th grade and there is a TON of new stuff for your student to learn. I try to keep it a fun environment and incorporate technology as often as I can, but there is still no substitute for good old pencil and paper practice when it comes to math.
Your student will have a variety of things assigned for homework. It may be a video lesson, a paper worksheet, an online worksheet, a project, or test review. I do try to keep the length of homework to a minimum and give the kids time in class to work on it and receive help. Your child will also have an online weekly assignment as well ( IXL or Get More Math). These are to be completed when other work is finished.
I take work that is late. It will be a deduction in points depending on how late it is and could also earn them an infraction (conduct mark). If your student has a problem with an assignment please encourage them to go back and look at their notes and example problems from class. If they are still struggling, they need to come speak with me as soon as possible. I am always willing to work with them. I also expect test corrections when needed. I have a specific paper they use to do these corrections. I will give then back half of the points for each question they correct.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.
