How to keep your binder organized?
- Use dividers to keep units separate
- Start each day with a new page and label it with the topic and date
- Place all handouts in your binder and label with the date
- Place homework, foldables, journals etc. into your portfolio
Missed a day?
- Check my "extra sheets" folder for handouts that you missed
- Ask a friend if you can borrow their notes to fill in what you missed OR ask me if I have a copy. This should be done ASAP and on your own time!
Missed a test?
- Check with me ASAP for an alternate assessment date
Other Tips
- Clean out your book bag once a week
- Carry a pencil case equipped with pencils, sharpener, calculator and pens
- Keep graph paper and a geometry set in your locker
- Keep your locker as neat as you can (tape a file folder to your locker, put any loose sheets in it!)
- Correct your homework! When you get a question wrong try it again! It is ok to be wrong, it is not ok not to try!
