PORTFOLIOS WILL BE GRADED AND WILL COUNT ON REPORT CARD #2!

CAREFULLY READ ALL THE BULLETS IF YOU WANT FULL POINTS.  (A+)

 

PORTFOLIOS

  • You have the whole hour today to create your portfolio.
  • Move to a spot where you can spread out all your papers and get organized. You should not be sitting close to any other student.
  • Your name and ID number should be neatly TAPED on the front cover, top right corner.
  • If you keep this portfolio for the WHOLE year, you will receive a nice prize at the end of the year.
  • Your portfolio must be in chronological order (in order based on date, oldest papers should be on top).
  • Your behavior score sheet should be LAST. Your final grade sheet should be FIRST.
  • Open StudentConnect and use the dates to help your organize your papers.
  • Today is a good day to organize your binder. If you have OLD papers that were never graded and added to StudentConnect, save them to shoot in the trash.
  • DO NOT TAKE YOUR PORTFOLIO OUT OF THIS CLASSROOM!

 

If you finish your portfolio, quietly work on something else.  If you don’t know what to work on, start the VENN diagram for Veterans and Veterinarians.
