Today the students turned in the Chapter 1 Vocabulary
Builder assignment and the Chapter 1 Guided Reading assignment. The students
have had these two assignments since last Thursday which gave them four days to
complete them. Unfortunately, many students failed to turn in their work
resulting in a grade of 0. There is simply no reason for students not to have
had their work having had so much time to complete these assignments.
The test over Chapter 1 will be on Wednesday 9/16. This will
be the first Summative test grade. Remember that Summative grades make up 55%
of a students total average. This makes it critical for the students to be
prepared.
Please make sure you check with your students about their
grades. I have far too many students with failing averages right now because of
failing to turn in their work. I do not have a single student with a failing
average that has turned in all of their work. If your student is failing the
course currently, it is because he/she is not turning in their work and
receiving a grade of 0. I will be sending out emails and making phone calls
about grades starting this week. Official progress reports will be going out in
roughly two weeks.
