PLEASE COME TO CLASS PREPARED!!!!

STUDENTS NEED TO BRING THEIR MATH BINDER, NOTEBOOK PAPER, AND A PENCIL TO MATH CLASS EACH DAY.

Assignments need to be written in pencil. Why?  
1)  If you make a mistake it can be erased.  
2)  If Mrs.Kirshner gives you an opportunity for grade recovery (correct mistakes for a new grade), it can be easily done.
3)  It is standard policy in all math classes.
