Do You Need a Do-Over?

Sometimes in life we all need a "do-over" when we don't make the best choices. I have decided to offer a chance to  "do-over" certain activities. If I'm grading an activity, it is important and should be completed. It's not Rocket Science in 6th grade, but you may be a Rocket Scientist when you are older and you might just remember that even NASA wants a "do-over" sometimes when things don't go right.

Here are the current "Do-Over" policies.
You may have a do-over on selected activities.  Not everything qualifies.
You have to print out a Do-Over form, complete it, sign it, have your parent/caregiver sign it, staple it to the activity, and turn it in before the Do-Over Window of Opportunity closes.

Right now the following "Do-Overs" are available:
  1. The Report to the Cookie Company.
  2. Gizmos: Graphing Student Exploration Guide and Assessment Questions (print out the score you get on the questions so that I don't have to go looking for it). There is no do-over for Plants. You just have to complete Plants and Snails and turn it in.
The Official Do-Over form is available

The closing of the window of opportunity will be announced next week.
