20. If you have been absent

21. Check the “While you were out” folder on the bulletin board • Turn in any make up work at the beginning of class. Write “ Absent “ on the top of the page so that you will be given full credit. • Schedule missed quizzes and tests with me immediately. ( If they were assigned before your absence , be prepared to take them )

22. Class dismissal is by the teacher, not the bell • Do not pack up prior to the bell • You will be dismissed when I have checked to be sure that all of the calculators and supplies have been returned properly and that you have picked up all of your belongings

23. Fire Drill • Go out to the right, down the stairs and outside. • Once you all leave I will lock the door so that you do not need to worry about taking any of your belongings with you • Gather together back by the fence. • I will be looking for you to take attendance outside.

28. If someone is asking a question • Show respect • Get ready to answer

29. Working Cooperatively

30. Working Cooperatively • Everyone should be working on the same question • Each person should understand before moving on. • Praise should be generous for good work “awesome job” “ you are a math beast” “ thank you for your help, Mrs. Roeser didn’t make any sense to me” • Everyone benefits when this happens!

31. Independent Work • This is a time when you work by yourself • We will all work very quietly so that everyone can concentrate

32. Do We Get to PickOur Partners ? • Groups are changed often and randomly • When we change groups it gives you a chance to : 1) work with someone new 2) sometimes meet somebody new 3) sometimes work with somebody you didn’t think you got along with

34. I don’t feel good

35. I don’t feel good • If you need to go to the Clinic, I will give you a pass. • If you can’t wait for a pass from me, just go and tell me you are headed to the Clinic. I will email her and tell her you have an ‘email pass’ to the Clinic. • In either case, get a pass from the Clinic when you leave.

36. Zero Tolerance for Electronics • If I see your phone or any other electronic device, I will be taking it.

37.
