Flipped Classroom:
This year all Biology Teachers will be implementing the Flipped Classroom
or Flip teaching method. Flip teaching (or flipped classroom) is a form of blended
learning in which students learn new content online by watching video lectures,
usually at home, and what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done
in class with teacher offering more personalized guidance and interaction with
students, instead of lecturing. Therefore, you will be using a computer, tablet, or
cell phone with internet access to do their homework. I understand not all students
have internet access which is why I will give several days to complete the work
online which should give you enough time to go to the library or any computer labs
we have on campus.
My website is where you can find the homework and my contact info:
Mrsammonsgotclass.weebly.com
Grading Scale:
All Labs and group work are 40%, All Exams are 30%, All Daily work is 30%
Pre-AP you are REQUIRDED to complete a science project at home.

Dear Parents,
This course requires lots of group work, research, reading,
and critical thinking. Irvin is now a T-stem school which means
students are going to do a lot of Problem Based Learning. This is
where students will learn from working out a problem on their
own. According to recent data and research students learn more
and remember more when they come up with their own solutions
and/or do the work on their own. Also, all homework is done
online. There are computers available on campus or at your local
library. Also, your child will be provided with a laptop instead of
textbooks.
I have very high expectations of your child and I will try to
inform you of your childs progress in my class as much as
possible. If you could please read the first page, which contains
what is expected of your child in my class at all times. We are a
team and I ask you to help me to explain to your child to
understand what is expected of him or her. I hope you understand
I too will do everything to help your child succeed.
If you want to keep track of your childs grades in my class,
and all of his or her other classes, please sign up for parent portal
on the EPISD website at www.episd.org. Look for parent portal
and there you will be able to see all grades in all your childs
classes. Below is my contact info., please keep this paper for your
records in case you need to contact me with any concerns or
comments. Please have your child come back to me with the first
page filled out and signed. Thank you and I look forward to
teaching and helping your child this year! For more info. visit:
