Welcome to Geometry Class,
I’m honored to be your Geometry Math teacher for this academic year 2016-2017. I’d like to
take the opportunity to introduce myself, I’m Mr. Sanctus Yanni, this is my fifth year in
teaching, I joined GPIS since 2015
Learning in our class will be through your textbooks, hands-on activities and projects.
How to be well organized during our course:
1) Attend all the lessons and if you do miss any make sure you catch up with the work
immediately. Check our blog to know what you missed.
2) Ensure you are on time for lessons and prepared to take an active role in class. If you
don’t understand something ... ASK FOR HELP do not wait till the next lesson and get
things accumulated.
3) You are expected to read up about the topics taught before the next lesson.
4) Keep all loose pages in a binder. It is your responsibility to keep the notes and material
tidy and in good order and to submit those to me for checking if requested.
5) Keep up to date with your written assignments. Don’t let the work pile up and ensure
you meet deadlines. If for a good reason you cannot meet a deadline, let me know in
advance via email.
6) Make sure you read your textbooks at the end of every session.
