Graded Papers
I will enclose graded papers with this week’s homework folder. I have attached a list of what assignments should be graded. If your child is missing some of these assignments, he or she either did not write their name or turn it in to me. The assignments with red markings mean they will go towards your child’s grade. These, and all you get back in this grading period, account for 5% of your child’s grade if it is language arts, or 10% if it is Math.
