Classroom Policies:

 

Classroom Rules / Expectations:

                   As agreed upon in class, we will all attempt to be:

tolerant, open, appropriate, direct, respectful, accepting, positive, and prepared.  (These are our Target Behaviors.)

 

Attendance / Absences / Tardiness:

                    The student will lose ½ of a daily point for each time he or she is tardy.

 

Make-up Work / Late Work:

                    Make-up work is only accepted for excused absences.  I do not accept late work!

                    It is the responsibility of each student to get make-up work done and turned in.

Project

At some point after we have completed chapter 4, we will possibly be doing an cumulative project.  Students will need to be familiar with several types of graphs, including linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions.  To see a very basic sample of the project, see the following Power Point Project Sample (AAT).
