Science Progress reports

Periods 4B and 5B were sent home with Progress Reports. Period 1A will have theirs tomorrow. Please have your child make up any work during the long week-end. I am very disappointed with some of the reports., especially 5B. I have the work posted on the board,on a poster in the class and on my blog.
I have heard very excuse you can imagine, why grades are low. If your child has a returned paper with my stamp and grade, I will gladly correct my error. This is why papers are graded with a stamp. This way I know I  have seen the paper and graded it.
However, I have many papers with no names or pages #, so I can identify the work. These are hard to grade and give credit to the right person. Many times the students have done the work and it is living in their backpack. Please have them check in the backpacks.

My papers do not leave my room, so they can not be lost. I care very much about the students work and I am always concerned about losing any papers. However,  like your students are, I am only human and may miss recording a grade.This is why the students are asked to glue all work into their Interactive Science Notebooks on the proper day. If a paper is missing a grade, we can check the notebook.

Thank you for 1A and their wonderful grades!!

Thank you for your help in this situation. We all hope you have a great Thanksgiving holiday.
