AndYour Teacher

Mrs. Grant

How will the week be organized?

What are the Key Terms to Know?

Each week you will have approximately 10-20 Key Terms to know.

Key Terms will be given on the first day of the week, which is usually Monday.

You will be tested on the Key Terms on the last day of the week, which is usually Friday.

What if you are absent? I will hand you the Missed Work only

after you request it the following day. The computer grade book will reveal a ZERO’s for any missed graded work.

The ZERO’s will be removed when YOU turn in the completed missed work to me (3 days maximum).

You may copy the information from a classmate during class or see me before or after school for missed work.

How do I make up missed labs or other classwork? Write a 1 page paper on a topic/article I

will give to you in class. Complete the activities during “rest” on

Friday’s after the test, or Complete the activities, when possible, as

homework.
