Mr. Stanton's Class Rules
Bring these to class each day to be successful.
1. A positive attitude- think Tigger not Eyeore
2. Hard work and good effort. Pay attention in class and contribute to the class in a positive way. Come to class prepared to work. Think What's Important Now: control the things you can control and don't worry about what you can't control.
3. Bring a three ring binder and something to write with.
Or: Class rule put in the negative (borrowed from Mr. Kulowiec)
No dining, No whining, No chillin'.
Grading:
Tests/ Quizzes: 50%
Homework: 20%
Class work: 30%
Extra credit: 5%
The only extra credit given in clas is and outside reading book that has relevance to the class (almost any non-fiction or historical fiction book will be accepted.)
Extra help is available almost every day, but the day I stay until 3:00 regardless whether someone comes for extra help or not is Thursday.
