4. Bell work is the work that is assigned as students come in the class room. It is to be started as soon as they can and finished shortly after the bell rings.
Students please correctly label your work:
First + LAST name DATE
BW, ___period, course name
Pages + problem numbers A
ONLY two bell works may be included on one sheet of paper – one on the front and one on the back ONLY if there is enough room.
This second bell work must have a complete new heading.

5. Include your notes by putting your IN in the middle of the folder
Do not do this! Put an X through incorrect work instead.
All work should be neat and labelled in the back pocket of your folder. You should show work for online practice, worksheets and work assigned and collected in class. Very few online practices have no written work. If you are unsure, ask Mrs. Flowers.

6. ALL NOTES remain in the interactive notebook.
Last, but not least
Notebooks will usually be collected on test days, and all bell work and math work since the last test should be included. After the notebook is graded, returned and there are no questions or concerns about it, the old bell work and math work needs to be removed.
ALL NOTES remain in the interactive notebook.
