How to be successful in Ms. Gilbert’s class?

  • Be prepared for class each day. This includes a positive attitude J
  • Be on top on your work in class and at home – most homework results from students not finishing their work in class!
  • Start your homework the day it is assigned – if it is a longer assignment, break it up!
  • Download the Google Classroom app on your smartphone or tablet – you will get notifications from me!
  • Check my website for homework, Quizlets, Kahoots, and other information.
  • Ask questions whenever you need help or are confused – we cover a lot, do not let your confusion go too far.

 

We cover a lot! It is fun, fascinating, and some ideas do repeat over chapters.  Homework is assigned to allow more time for activities in class.  Although it is a small percentage of the grade, students need to understand that completing it will help them become successful on tests and quizzes, which are 40% of their grade.  Homework is meant to either assess a student OR prepare the student for the next day.  If homework isn’t complete, students may become frustrated and not successful in activities.

 

Good luck!!
