__Words of Wisdom__:


 * Be on time everyday with all your materials. In the real world, being habitually late sends a message to your employer. In the classroom, you are missing important announcements, notes, homework, and student questions.
 * Have your materials open and on your desks ready to start the day. Be ready to go so that you are ready when your teacher is ready.
 * Take good notes. If it goes on the board, its probably pretty important. Make sure you copy the examples as well. They are your reference for when you do homework.
 * If you miss a day, it is your responsibility to make sure you keep caught up. If something shows up on a test and you were not there when it was taught, that was your responsibility.
 * Speaking of absenses, have your note ready when you come back and submit it to the office, unless a parent has already called the school to justify an absence. Bring your green slip to me. If you forgot your note, you still need to go to the office and get a yellow slip. If I never see a green slip, it goes on your record as a skip.
 * Homework is assigned for your benefit, they are the suggested problems. If you find them too easy, just do a few and move on to the more challenging questions. If you are having difficulties, you need to find similar questions and keep working on them until they make sense.
 * Homework is practice not only to understand the material but to be able to do it effeciently. During a test you have limited time so you do not want the test to be the first time you have ever done a certain question.
 * Just because you can do the homeowrk does not mean you will do well on a test. Its less about repetition and more about understanding.
 * Deeper understanding comes when you teach others. Form study groups.
 * Persevere through difficult questions, growth comes when you allow yourself ot think.
 * When you are asked to explain a solution, not only tell me what you are doing but why.
 * Respect your learning environment, there are 29 other students in the classroom. They want to do well.
