Grading and Work Expectations

 

  • Students can find their Math notes, assignments, and even helpful youtube videos in their Google classroom on Google slides with information on what we learned in class as it is posted each time a new lesson is introduced.

 

  • Students are able to access their Math textbooks online from wnyschools website by clicking on classlink and on Saavas.  

 

  • Assignments and homework are given on a daily basis, except on Fridays, they won’t have homework.

 

  • Homework is expected to be completed even if it is challenging. Effort counts more than correct answers.

  • Homework should be handed in the day it is due. 
  • Late homework may not be accepted except when accompanied by a parent note. There will be 10 points taken away for each day that it is late.
  • Missed, incomplete, or late assignments count as a zero grade: except when you're absent you have 1 day to make it up.

 

  • Homework is usually reinforcement or practice for a concept or skill previously learned in class. Less often, homework is assigned as an introductory activity for a new concept or skill. 
  • Written and/or online homework is usually always assigned four times each week, on Monday through Thursday evenings. It is rare for students to have homework on Fridays
  • Daily homework will usually take no longer than one-half hour to forty minutes to complete. If your child is consistantly taking longer to complete homework, please contact me.
  • Other at-home activities may also be assigned, such as multiplication table study. In addition, special projects will involve weekend homework.
  • Written homework is usually graded only for being returned on time and for being completed according to directions. I do grade one or two homework assignments each week for academic content, but the students don't know which ones. SLD inclusion students have modified assignments.
