happens:
1.) Enter the classroom in an orderly fashion, be seated in your
assigned seat, and follow directions that will be located on the
board. The directions will include gathering your materials and/or
begin working on your assignment. 2.) I expect you to be on time, in your seat, materials out and
already working when the bell rings. I will NOT be telling you or
warning you to sit down and work. This is your warning, next offense
is a detention and we will go from there. 4.) I expect you to write your name, date, and any page numbers in the upper right hand corner on ALL assignments. Failure to do so will result in a zero for that assignment. 5.) I expect you to use PENCIL on all assignments, tests, and quizzes.

You have them, on average, every other week. These are assigned on Monday and due on Friday. They are, on average, 4-5 problems. The MORE stands for Modeling, Organizing, Reflecting, and Extending.
