Math is all around us, and most of the time we are just so used to it that we dont call it math!
To be honest the things that you learn every day in this class will be with you for the rest of your life. You need this class to be successful in life.

Procedures
When you come in you need to get your bell work folder from the front, and immediately start on bell work. All bell work will be posted or noted as to the expectation. Have out all your materials and be ready for class to begin. That means pencil, paper, and pencil sharpener. Once we begin class we will not be getting up to sharpen our pencils.
If we need seats to be changed there will be a new seating chart on the board, please make your way to that seat and begin your bell work. Be ready for opening activity once I walk into the room. We will have a weekly helper, their names will be posted by the door. Everyone will have the chance to be the helper, the helper will pass out papers, take up materials if necessary, etc.
This is your classroom too! I know that you are only in here for an hour but I am here for my whole day. Please take time to straighten up your personal area, including picking up trash on the floor(even if its not yours). If you have trash to through away, wait until the end of class to do so, getting up in the middle of class is against the rules Please do not come in and spray anything in the room, AXE, perfume, lotions, etc. People are allergic to these scents and it can cause severe reactions!

Grading in middle school is based off of 18 weeks. This can be beneficial or harmful. You will receive a progress report every 4.5 weeks. At the end of the 18 week semester, the grade will start over. You start my class with a 100. Lets keep it that way. I do not give grades, you earn them.
We feel that school is such a bore We feel that school is such a chore Parents say, Schools great! Now, go! We say, Well, what do you know?
Late a minute and we have to run Eyes half open, shoelaces undone We reach school and we see our friends, Immediately, the torture ends We have a chat and go with the flow Then the bell rings, it is time to go We may at times find school stressful To have some fun, we have to bend some rules
Over the years of education, Never have we had so much learning with action Such as camps, experiments, concerts and activities Weve learnt so much and even saved the trees A wise teacher once said aloud Success is failure turned inside out So stick to the fight when youre hardest hit Rest if you must, but dont you quit Some may see school as a torture chamber Some cannot wait for the holidays in December But it depends on how we look at school Honestly, positively, school is cool!

Talk back to teachers, and detention we serve No doubt, it is sometimes what we deserve Sometimes they are as cold as ice And other times they're actually really nice
They teach us and give us a helping hand Theyre forever ready to listen and be a friend They have built much confidence in us Just not when they are being really harsh
