Welcome to Algebra 1
Welcome to 2nd semester of Virtual Integrated Math 3! In this letter you will find the UPDATED rules, procedures, and policies of my class. Please read everything thoroughly and email any questions to me.
Grading Categories:
Class Participation/Notebook 20% Assignments 10% Assessments 70%
Grading Scale: A 90-100% B 80-89% C 70-79% D 60-69% F Below 60%
Needed Supplies**:
• Spiral Notebook • Pencil w/eraser • Pens (colors other than black) • Computer with internet
**Education Code Section 49011 (a) states: ‘A pupil enrolled in a public school shall not be required to pay a pupil fee for participation in an educational activity.
Participation/Notebook (20%)
I will be keeping a log of daily class participation. You will get points for answering and asking questions in the chat box. I will also call on people randomly, you must respond verbally or in the chat to receive credit. At random I will give points for you being visible on camera. You also must keep an organized spiral notebook. Title and date the notes every day. Write down concepts, definitions and examples. Do the examples and correct your work with different color pen. Reflect/summarize your learning after every day of notes. Notebooks will be checked at random during class by sending a single pdf file of your notes, multiple files will not be accepted. This must be submitted on time, not late submissions.
Assignments (Math Practice) (10%)
Every lesson will have an assignment that accompanies it. You will have until the next class period (2 days) to complete the assignment for full credit. Late work will be allowed for half credit up to the end of the unit, NO LATER. At the end of every unit, if you have late work that has not been counted, you must send me an email with the assignments you need me to check off late. A single pdf file that consists of multiple pictures of your completed assignment must be submitted through google classroom. Multiple files will no longer be accepted.
Assessments (70%)
After a topic has been taught and reviewed a small quiz (1 or 2 objectives) will be given weekly. Notes will be allowed, but phones, apps (like photomath), and cheating websites that do the work for you will not be allowed. If you are suspected of using an app or website to do your work for you, you will be given a 0 and asked to come to office hours to explain your work and take an alternate quiz if applicable. Students will be required to be completely visible (face, hands and potentially their screen) during assessment. A retake assessment will be provided at the end of the unit that consists of all the objectives and will replace the quiz score for up to 75%. This will be offered in Office Hours.
Virtual Classroom Rules :
1) Be on time and prepared with your spiral notebook, pencil, calculator and color pen everyday, logged in to your google classroom muted with video enabled. Email me immediately if you are having issues logging in or you are absent.
2) Be respectful of fellow students and the virtual learning environment (no off-task behavior, sleeping, or other disengaged activities...)
3) Be engaged in class. No cell phones or music players allowed during lessons and work, unless given permission by the teacher as a necessity. Take notes, try the math, and be prepared to answer questions.
4) Be cooperative with fellow students and the teacher. Learning is a process of questioning, practicing, messing up, and teaching others. You must communicate with your peers and teachers via class chat, email or verbally when appropriate.
Progressive Discipline:
1) Warning 2) Parent Contacted 3) Counselor Contacted 4) Referral to Admin
Process/Routine of the class:
1) Login to your virtual google classroom at the designated start time with supplies for taking notes ready (notebook, pencil, pen)
2) Engage in the 30-40 minute direct instruction lesson. During the lesson problems will be presented for you to attempt. You MUST do them in real time with the class in order to learn. Doing this in a spiral notebook is part of your participation grade. Do NOT just copy them down and wait for me to give you the answer. Learning happens when you try to the best of your ability and correct your mistakes. You will not learn by listening/watching ONLY. Once you attempt a problem, correct it if needed when I go over it, ask clarifying questions, and write notes to help you understand it later. Title and date every lesson for retrieval later.
3) Work independently or in small groups on the assignment (practice/extension) for the rest of the class (I will designate small groups when appropriate). I will remain logged on, available to the class to answer questions. I will also be asking you questions to check for understanding during these times (participation grade).
4) Be Prepared for assessments. I may assign a quiz, Delta Math, unit test or other virtual assessment once a topic has been taught and reviewed. You will be able to use your notebook during these assessments, so keep clear, organized notes!
Academic Dishonesty:
Since we are in a virtual environment, I understand that academic dishonesty is a problem. It is important to do your own work in order for you to learn the material. You want to learn the material so you are prepared for the SAT/ACT, State Tests, college placement exams and college math. If you are caught cheating, you will receive a 0 for the assignment or assessment and the appropriate administrators/counselors will be notified. If you a suspected of cheating you will be asked to come to office hours and explain your work/answers. Always keep your handwritten work for virtual assessments in your notebook in case your academic honesty is called into question. Using apps or websites that do the work for you is academic dishonesty. Copying another student/tutor is academic dishonesty. Having someone help you during a quiz is academic dishonesty.
Attendance: Make sure to login to class for the entire period to be counted as present. If you are not visible in your camera, you may be marked absent if you are not actively participating.
Office Hours: Join my office hours page to join the chat at the following times:
Monday: No office hours
Tuesday: 1:35-2:20 PM
Wednesday: 7:30-8:15 AM
Thursday: 1:35-2:20 PM
Friday: 7:30-8:15 AM
**Instead of a paper signature, you will compose an email with your parents emails copied (cc’d). This is your first participation assignment.**
_____________________________________________________________________
Directions for the Email Affidavit: 1) Put “Syllabus” and your full name and period in the subject line. 2) Type the affidavit below in the body of an email. 3) CC: (copy) your parents on the email. 4) Write any questions or comments about the syllabus that you or your parents have on the bottom of the email and I will do my best to answer them.
Affidavit (type the paragraph below in the body of the email)
I have read the new updated syllabus for second semester and if I have any questions or concerns about it, I will type my questions after this affidavit. I agree to follow the rules and routine for the class. I promise to do my OWN work and ask questions to learn and will not copy others or cheat using apps and/or websites. I understand that I must have and use a notebook, pencil, and correcting pen every day and stay engaged during lessons to receive participation points. I understand that I need to communicate with Mrs. Nadolny during her office hours, via email or during class if I need help.
