8th Grade Religion
The majority of religion grades come from “Session Assessment” reading checks. These vary between multiple choice, fill in the blank, or true and false questions about the sections of the book we discuss. The students alternate between taking their own notes in an effort to build good study skills, and notes done in class to provide an example / outline of different note taking techniques.

8th Grade Algebra
We are wrapping up module 8 in the book. This follows different methods of solving systems of equations.

7th Grade Pre Algebra
We are in the middle of geometry including Module 8 and 9. At the end of the unit there will be a series of mini quizzes rather than one large assessment

Late work policy
Any assignment graded for “completion” means the students will get a 100% for turning in a completed assignment that they did their best on. If this is turned in late 10% is deducted per school dat that it is late. It is the students responsibility to let me know when they complete any assignment late.

Any assignment graded for “correctness” means that the students score is based on how many of the questions they got correct. These are typically worth more points, any assignment turned in late will lose 1 point per school day it is turned late in addition to any points taken off for incorrect answers.

There will be no extra credit offered at the end of the year.

I check fast direct between 7:30am and 4:30pm most days but try to check in if any assignments or events are coming up. I prefer that the students email me themselves from their google account as I believe this builds a stronger teacher-student relationship as well as independence in their learning. I check my google email far more often then fast direct and try to get back to students as soon as possible.
