Warrior News - Sixth Graders Travel- due tomorrow
Just wanted to let you all know that the other day I listed all work that was collected during the time I had a substitute. I put all missing work on the white board and gave the students until this Friday, December 16th to turn it in for full credit (except the reading log). No work will be accepted after tomorrow. Many students have already turned work in and have taken advantage of this. I am hoping that tomorrow I will receive all work from everyone. Power schools is updated and you can find missing work on there. At this point, I have not graded Myths and Mazes or Reading Logs. Everything else has been entered.
