In Language Arts today the students were given time to organize their good fit book(s) and homework.
We also spent a lot of class time talking about studying for our first unit test and quiz which will both be taking place next week. The students can use their notebooks, Quizlet through Google Classroom, and Moby Max to help them prepare.
I am going to be doing my best this weekend to get as much grading done as possible to get grades updated as quickly as I can. However, report cards do not need to be turned in until next weekend. My goal is to finish grading by Sunday night to have time to make any adjustments to grades that may need to be made. I am usually an efficient grader but I may not make my goal. I will send a remind to my blocks once their grades are updated based on what I have received. Please do not email me or ask about grades until I have sent a Remind stating that grades are updated. At times, grades may look very low while I am in the process of updating them because I have to input the grades as a whole class as opposed to doing it for each student individually. Until a score is input, the grade in the computer will look very low. Please be patient as I work on this. There are 84 of you but I am 1 person. If I mark something as missing but you know you turned it in, it is possible you put your assignment in with the wrong class and I haven’t graded it yet or you didn’t put your name on it. If this happens, we will get it sorted out next week.
Have a great weekend!
