I have a TON of grading to do. The students really came together and turned in wonderful projects- it takes forever to grade as I don't want to put the projects down. Now on to grades... I will not have grades completed until later next week. Please email me if you would like me to email you your grades or your child's grades upon the conclusion of grading.
Also kuddos to the many students who completed a grade saver contract. So far ALL the students who fulfilled the contract terms are now passing. To the parents: I believe that we need to hold our kids responsible for their actions. I also believe that when a student exercises maturity in recognizing poor decisions and poor behavior they should be permited a second chance. Thus I sent home a grade saver contract on Friday 9/28 for any and all students that were failing my class. The contract had to be signed by a parent as well as a current progress report. Additionally, the student was required to write a formal letter aplogize for their behavior, identify what behavior led to a failing grade, and suggest behaviors that will lead to a passing grade in the future. This contract allowed students to make up all zeros and assignments that were not completed.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Enjoy Fall Break!
