5. EXPECTATIONS RESPECT Attendance Homework Class Participation Materials
What I expect in my classroom
RESPECT
The most important aspect. I expect respect for me, yourself and your classmates
ATTENDANCE
If you miss school consistently you are going to miss out on a lot of learning. It is difficult to catch up
HOMEWORK
Daily basis
You can make corrections on all daily assignments if you turn your corrections in the next day on a separate piece of paper. Realistically you should be able to achieve a 100% on all assignments. However, your goal should be to obtain at least 80% on all assignments.
CLASS PARTICIPATION
Obviously you need to pay attention and participate in class. This includes TAKING DOWN NOTES!!!! Remember, the examples I go through in class are not for my benefit.
MATERIALS
You need your materials every day!!
