There were several students who did not have their homework completed today. Grades will continue to suffer if students do not get their work completed on time. Also, there are few students in this class who need to stop talking. Class participation points will be deducted for continuously taking.

Points will be deducted from your grade if all work is not turned in. It is VERY Important for students to be in Computer class. Almost everything that will be assigned in class will be graded.

PLEASE remember if you are ever absent, you will need to turn in the work that you ahve missed. See your "study buddy" for missed work. Graded assignments need to be made-up in a timely manner or they will turn to a zero.

__Attention all Math Classes...Important Reminders:__ In Math it is **essential** that you show your work...so please don't forget to show it!!!!!! Be sure that you have your homework completed EVERYDAY!

Goal: Students should try to get an 80% or better on all of your quizzes and tests. Some of you may need to work a little harder at times! Be sure to remember to bring all of your supplies to class...and homework as well, of course. Your grades are going to suffer if you are not able to get your homework completed on time.

If a student is struggling, please contact me as soon as possible. Students have math homework assigned every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday OR every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The homework is posted on the board in Room 5. Students are also asked to copy the homework from the chalkboard into their planners. Students who are absent should email/call me to get their assignments or call their "Study Buddy". Students need to read the lesson very carefully. They should study the examples until they understand how the book arrived at the solution. Students should complete the practice section/check for understanding section to see if they have any questions about the lesson. Students should also be correcting their homework after we go over it in class. Hopefully, students will learn from their mistakes. It is important for them to see what they did incorrectly. Students need to be showing their work!!! If you think that you are in need of some extra help or work, please see Mrs. Burkett before it is too late. Please continue to pray for the faculty, staff, and students here at school. We need your prayers daily. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please email me at dburkett@broadfording.com.
