Do we have homework?
Did you check the homework page? :)
Do we have to write this?
Yes!!! Rule of Thumb for this class: If I write it, you write it.
Do we have to do Science Fair?
Pre-AP students are required to do an out of class project, and Science
Fair is one of the options for this. However, should a student in a regular
7th grade science class want to enter the fair, they may get the information
and due dates from me and it will count as a major grade (possibly replacing a
low test grade in the same category).
Do I put my late work in the normal turn-in folder?
No!!! Late work goes in the designated tray in the back of the
classroom. There is a big RED sign
that says "LATE WORK" on it. Follow the instructions on this sheet
of paper, or your work will NOT BE GRADED.
Mrs. Marshall, did you really go to that super awesome school?
YES!! I'm a super awesome Texas A&M AGGIE!! WHOOP!
How do I read my grades on Gradespeed?
If there is a zero in a place, that means that the time for accepting the
work late has passed and the
grade will remain a zero.
If the student can still turn in the assignment late, the letters 'msg' will
appear in a box for a
particular grade. This averages a zero into the student's average so that
they know what not turning
it in will do to their grade.
An empty box means that I have not entered grades for the assignment yet,
but it has been turned
in.
