What do I bring to class? Binder with two 2 pocket folders Correct module workbook Pencils (including extras) A hand held sharpener Pens for correcting Your agenda Any homework or work due Highlighters, glue sticks and scissors AND….. A BOOK for reading when you are finished early.

Mrs. Makin’s Supplies Mrs. Makin’s Shelves There are materials you can use, but only with permission You may not just get up and go get things I do not give out pencils. You must bring your own materials to class. Mrs. Makin’s Desk Do not touch anything on the desk, unless you have asked and been given permission.

How do I enter the room properly? Wait to be invited into the class Come in silently in your assigned seat Get out your materials for the day Put your backpack under your chair or table Fill out your agenda with the homework (or if there is no homework, write “none”) Get started on the warm-up if there is one If there is no warm-up, make sure your homework is out and ready to grade, with a pen! BE ON TIME!

What should happen during class? LEARNING! It is your JOB to learn. Pay attention and focus and being a good learner Participate! Answer questions, ask questions, Do all the math work in pencil, only! Stay organized

What should not happen during class? Talking out of turn, do not talk while others are talking Not paying attention Talking to your neighbor about non-math related topics Getting out of your seat without permission

How do I leave the room properly? Mrs. Makin dismisses you, NOT the bell Push in your chair, clean up your trash and WAIT to be dismissed! And WALK to your next class 

What goes in my Binder? Eureka Math Module 2 Folders Loose-leaf paper One for homework One for study materials (corrected work and tests) Loose-leaf paper Notes and Warm-ups (behind the math tab) Must be written completely and neatly

Grading 65% Assessment (Tests and Quizzes) 35% Practice (Homework, Warm-ups, Class work) We will grade all homework assignments the next day in class (Bring a pen!) You may redo any homework assignment for a better grade. You must come in for first 5 minutes of lunch and re-grade it yourself to self-assess your progress.

75% or better? If you pay attention, participate and do the work, you should score a 75% or better on each assignment. If you did not get a 75% or better on an assignment, you should re-do the assignment to help you better understand for the test! You only have to re-do the problems you missed! Staple your re-do problems to the original assignment when you turn it back in.

Behavior Expectations Be on time. After 4 tardies, you will receive a written office referral, and a call home. Bring all materials needed, everyday. When you are in here, we are discussing math. Other conversations need to be left at the door. RAISE YOUR HAND if you have a comment or question. Do not blurt out your thoughts. See poster for other expectations (class rules) No tapping or clicking

Other Behavior Expectations You need to use the bathroom during passing period, not during class. If you are leaving class, you must sign out, then in. You must show all your written work on all assignments and tests in order to get credit! NO WORK = NO CREDIT Respect others and help when asked. Complete work on time. No leaning back in your chair (4 on the floor)

Information on the Board Objective Look here for hints about what we will be covering and what I expect you to know TO DO This is what we will be doing today in class Homework Look on the agenda to see what the homework is for that night and COPY THIS INTO YOUR AGENDA!

Finals In 6th grade, you will take a Semester 1 Final in December and a Semester 2 Final in May. These will count for 10% of your overall semester grade. They will cover everything from that semester. This is why it is so important to keep all corrected work and tests (Study Materials) for the whole semester.

Homework Policy You MUST do your homework. It is not optional for this class. IT’S A LEARNING TOOL If something is late, you can turn it in but you must come in at the beginning of lunch, grade it, and turn it in. After this becomes a habit, Mrs. Makin will take a 15% late penalty. If you do not turn in your assignment, you will have a zero in the gradebook until it is turned in.

What if I am absent?

What if I am absent? YOU are responsible for making up what you missed. This can be done during lunch, homeroom (with permission from teachers), or at home. Look on my website to see what you missed OR when you are back, check my calendar on the bulletin board. Worksheets we did will be in the blue folders on the back table, sorted by weeks of the quarter. You must come in at lunch or homeroom to grade the work, since you missed grading in class. Your absent work must be turned in within 2 days of your absence.

Got it all??? Good ;) Just kidding….you probably won’t remember all of this. That is why this PowerPoint will be on my website for you and your parents to look over in the future and review any rules of my class.
