Mrs. Horning’s Geometry Expectations
Class Expectations
 Students should be ready to go and in their seats when the bell rings.
This entails:
o having your homework, sharpened pencil, calculator and book out,
o picking up a warm-up slip on your way in
o writing questions of previous night’s homework on the board
o following any other directions on the board.
Why you ask? Our time together is valuable and I hope to allow a classroom where you
can accomplish as much as possible during our time together. For that reason, I don’t
want to waste time at the beginning of the hour that need not be wasted.

CELL PHONE policy – Students should not be on them nor should they be out, UNLESS given
specific permission for a math-related activity. No calculators on phones allowed. I confiscate
phones and turn them into the office if used inappropriately.

MUSIC POLICY – students may listen to music during worktime or after finishing a weekly
assessment if they ask for permission (and it’s granted) and volume is kept low.
o Students should NOT be on devices during weekly assessments.
Warm-Up/Participation – I expect you to work through the problems in our warm-up and notes with
us. I will call on students (at random) to help us along with our warm-up and notes. If you don’t
know what to do or what the answer is, then you need to ask a question to clarify how to do what
we’re doing.
Homework Checks – I expect you to attempt the highlighted problems on your homework EACH
night. Therefore, I will check homework randomly in class each week. This is in place to keep you on
top of the homework and not let it pile up until Thursday night.
Weekly Assessments and W.A. Sheet – Weekly assessments are used to help you retain the material
longer, as well as give you multiple attempts on the topics we learn throughout the semester. It is
CRUCIAL that you review previous week’s assessments to remind yourself of what the section is
about. It is also CRUCIAL that you stay up-to-date on filling out you W.A. sheet. Failure to do so will
cause undue stress when W.A. sheets are turned in, and/or your grades won’t get replaced.
Have FUN – I love to have fun with math, but that only works if we’re all on the same page and doing
math together. If we can ensure that everyone’s on their game, I can ensure that we’ll have fun with
it!
