12/3 update

A letter like the one below went home with all of the students today.  Their homework is to get this letter signed this evening.

Hello Parents!

I wanted to let you know that I have updated INOW with your child’s reading journal grade.  Over the past several weeks we have been reading the book White Fang.  I told the students that as long as we were reading the book, I would not assign them any additional homework.  Their only homework was to complete a journal of a few sentences of what happened that day in the book, with an occasional extra question.  I allotted 25 days to read the book, with 10 points available for each day.  The entire packet was worth 250 points.  There were several days along the way that we were not able to read because of other priorities.  However, I awarded each student with 10 points for the days we did not read.  So, even if the students did not complete any of the journals, they would have received 130 out of 250 points.  Your child received ___________ out of 250 points.   Their overall grade in Science is now ____________.  We will have a final test over the book and the connections between this book and our science content.  Please check INOW for a detailed list of your child’s grades.
