We will discuss these novels weekly (two before Christmas, two after), read poetry, have dictation, read aloud together, and write four different types of short essays over the course of the year, one on each book. Each of these essays (narrative, argumentative, persuasive and
descriptive) need only be one page each. Commenting and grading will be based on the student’s thoughtful interpretation of what has been read. Students should expect 1.5-2 hours per day, 4 days per week of homework. One other book will be required to be read over the summer (from the book list provided at registration). A short writing assignment will be written on the first day of class based on that book. Two more books from the list provided will be chosen by each student to be read on the side during the school year. A short synopsis and opinion of each of these books will be required as we move through the year

Curriculum: Switched on Schoolhouse Math 900 and Algebra II

Provided By The Teacher: The SOS computer programs will be provided by Mrs. Garrett as they are out-of-print. She will load them onto students’ laptops. SOS will not load on Chromebook.
Purchased By Parents: Each student must have a laptop to use at home and in class. (No Macs, please.)

Tuition: $55 per month on Cash App or by check
Supply Fee: $15 with registration
Drop Fee: If student drops before September 30th, two additional months tuition will be required. If student drops after September 30th, the full year’s tuition is required.

Class Minimum: 3
Class Maximum: 4

Details: This class is for “non-math” and “math” students alike and is a mixed levels class. Each student will progress at his/her own individual rate in the computer algebra program. Students will work on individual lessons in class; they will be taught some skills, such as word problems, as a class. Mrs. Garrett is available during the week by phone, text, or email to help if students have questions, or need extra help; students must be willing to contact Mrs. Garrett for this program to work well. There will be more emphasis on learning than on keeping an exact timeline; math builds on itself, so it does no good to go on until there is understanding on each level.

Worksheets are provided if the student needs more practice on a particular skill. Homework will be by time rather than by lessons. Students will work one hour on three separate days for homework.

Advanced Math

At home during the week, the students will daily watch the lessons taught by Dr. Shormann. They will then complete the homework lessons, which the parent will check and the student will correct. The student will then bring the assignments to class. At home, the parent will administer the weekly test. Students are NOT allowed to use their textbooks, notes, etc. Parents will NOT grade the test. The test will be brought to class at which time they will be graded, and corrected with the help of the teacher. Additionally, during the first 10 minutes of each class, the students will take a quiz over the new material which will promptly be graded and corrected— with the help of the teacher. Time permitting, additional problems can be addressed.

Mathematics is a language and I expect my students to demonstrate proficiency in this language of symbols and numbers. All my students must be able to express themselves mathematically and in order to do this, they MUST SHOW WORK to receive credit. The work they turn in must be legible and adhere to the format that I require. No exceptions.
