MISSING SCHOOL?-Umm, we still have math class.
When a scholar misses school, school is still in session and over an hour and 40 minutes of math class has happened,without the scholar here.
When a scholar misses school, school is still in session and over an hour and 40 minutes of math class has happened,without the scholar here.
Absent scholars need to connect with Ms. Coleman during Nutrition or Extend time to see how he/she can make up any missed math knowledge. The scholar is responsible for reaching out to Ms. Coleman.
SYNERGY-Online Grade Program
Scholars & parents can read of special education/ELL techniques Ms. Coleman used for each class assignment. Math videos for some chapters are available on Synergy labeled as 'Resources'. Ms. Coleman inputs grades approximately every week and a half. Most grades from assignments are based upon Math Content competency and/or Mathematical Practices.

QUIZZES & TESTS
Scholars can retake any of these, for a higher grade. Its best that Ms. Coleman be given prior notice so she can make sure she has new copies of the Quest and/or quiz. Scholars are expected to use notes on tests. Quizzes are short (2-4 questions) and most times, notes are not allowed on quizzes. Yet it is a common accommodation that Ms. Coleman helps scholars organize their notes, book and calculator prior to tests. Other accommodations include>read aloud instructions/questions, helping connect information in scholar's math notes and Ms. Coleman making clearer/re-wording math questions on the math tests/quizzes and assignments. In some instances dependent upon ability, scholars show their math knowledge/thinking by explaining answers to Ms. Coleman in addition to writing math answers.
