A Few Reminders....

 School is in full swing!  We are already starting lessons, and the students have been adapting wonderfully.

I am sure you all have been inundated with information, but here are just a few more things to remember in regards to supplies for my class.

You may have noticed that I requested a 2-inch binder with five dividers for English --for Writing, Grammar, Literature,Vocabulary, Analogies. Notebook paper should be placed in front and will serve as journal.  This is not to bog anyone down, but to help each student succeed in being structured and to allow easy accessibility for the various areas of English class. (All the language arts notes, hand-outs, essays, rubrics, homework, tests, etc. will stay in this organized, sectioned binder as I will hole-punch all the papers I give. Please check these binders regularly.) To keep students accountable in their organization, I do random binder checks and give them a preparation grade.

In addition to an organized binder, the students are accountable to keep track of their specific assignments and write them down daily. I give out homework orally, write all the assignments on the board, and oftentimes give the students an additional explanatory hand-out for papers and projects.
Tests, quizzes, projects, and papers are posted to my website as well. I want each student to be set up for success!

For Bible, the students need to have a notebook, notebook paper, and a folder.  In place of the notebook, a student may use a folder with clips to hold paper in the center. 

Students are to use black or blue ink or pencil for my classes.

Students should have an ESV Bible for class.  However, if this is a burden or an inconvenience, an NIV Bible will suffice for in-class use.  (We do memorize in the ESV, however.)

All hardback textbooks must be covered.

I think that covers the administrative details for both of my classes.

If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

Thank you,
Mrs. Agate
