100
you turn homework in here
What is the box on Ms. Tubaugh's desk? Do not hand it to me (or anyone else). Once you have put it in the box it is mine. You may NOT get it back.

two popular items you are NEVER allowed to wear in class
What are jeans and hoodies? Notice the points for uniform on your syllabus!
100
the most important thing you should never ever say to anyone, especially in the class, but also in life
What is shut up? Please just try to be respectful and polite to one another. You do not have to be nice - although that would be awesome. Remember the Golden Rule...
200
the place you should be when the 2-minute timer dings
What is your seat? You should already have something to write with and the daily handouts at this time. Ask personal questions before this time as well (or at the end of class).

200
you pick up daily handouts here
What is on the table by the door? This should be done as you enter - NOT after I have started class. You also may not have multiple copies because "you messed up". Either use a pencil or erasable pen OR write neatly the first time. I don't make hundreds of copies. SAVE THE EARTH! =)
200
navy blue, white, black and kahki (red - only with the EABPTA logo)
What are the school uniform colors? Undershirts must also be these colors. Girls - this is much more of a problem for you. Tank tops under your polos must match the school uniform colors. IF YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM YOU WILL BE ASKED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SEE YOUR ADMINISTRATOR OR SERVE A WEDNESDAY SCHOOL!!! (The time of day will not matter.) Also, you will be given few chances to correct the problem. Regular problems with uniform will result in a Wednesday school.

Ms. Tubaugh emphasizes that all students must _ _ _ - even when things seem really hard to understand and complete
What is T R Y? Learning is your responsibility. I am here to guide and help you - not GIVE you answers. That is not learning. You must think and reason through harder material. Effort is the key to success in all things.
300
how homework is graded
What is 5 random questions - 1 point for TRYING (there's that word again...T R Y) the question and 1 point for having the correct answer? Realize that means you should never have less than a 5/10. You also lose points for not showing your work when necessary, such as solving equations (-1).
300
A)supplementary B)complementary
What is A)two angles whose sum is 180? b)two angles whose sum is 90? For 25 Geom-Pardy bonus points each: Draw and label supplementary angles that are a linear pair. Draw and label complementary angles that do not create a right angle.
300
items that can be recycled Hint: you must have 4 correct answers
What is paper, plastic (with a recycling triangle), cans and cardboard? Recycling goes in the large dark green bin in the corner of the room. Trash goes in the small can under the chalkboard. Food DOES NOT go into the recycling bin.
300
Wednesday school will be issued for a student's ____ unexcused tardy to class
What is their third tardy? Tardy is not being IN THE CLASSROOM BEFORE the bell rings. Being near the room in the hallway doesn't count. Nor does having "your stuff" in the room. An excused tardy is when an adult in our building writes you a pass to class. Constant excused tardies will also not be accepted. I get 52 minutes a day for Geometry class time and we need all of them!
300
your login and password for PAM so you can access your grade and know where you stand
What is your student id number and 6 digit birthday? You can access the website from Eastmoor Academy's website. You should check on your grade often. Double-check my grade entries, I occasionally make mistakes. =)

the three uses for Geometry passes
What is 1) a homework 10/10 2) a hall pass at appropriate times 3) one percentage point at the end of the 9 Weeks The assignment name can be found on your syllabus. Hall passes are not allowed the first/last 10 minutes, 4th/6th/8th periods. You can use no more than 3 passes during the 9 Weeks. They are your responsibility. I will not re-issue passes for any reason.

an example of a correct MLA heading for the assignment Geom-Pardy
What is Student Name - Period Ms. Tubaugh Geom-Pardy January 3, 2011 All papers turned in (typed or handwritten) should be in this format. Most handouts you receive are formatted this way. Points will be deducted for not using the proper format. If you forget the format, where could you look?
400
before school, 4th period lunch, after school on given days
What are times for tutoring or questions? If none of the above times work for you, see me before or after your class and we can schedule a different time. I'm pretty flexibly on times. I will do my best to fit into your schedule.
500
the last day late work can be turned in and with this consequence
What is when the day the current grade sheet is due and for only HALF credit? Remember - excused absences allow one extra day for each absence to be turned in for full-credit. Each day late is -1 until the grade sheet is due. So one day late is -1. Two days late is -2. Three days late is -3. More than three days is half-credit.

Tell your parents not to call or text you during your geometry class period. First time - taken until the end of class. Second time - taken until the end of the day & phone call home. Third time - taken and given to your grade level Administrator with a 190.
500
do this when you don't understand something in class
What is ask questions? "I don't get it." and "I don't understand." are NOT questions. Always start at the beginning and find where you start to become unsure or confused. As students you must practice expressing yourself verbally. No teacher you have ever had, nor will ever have can read your mind. You must be clear in your questioning so you get the proper and correct answers.
