WHAT ARE THESE ZEROS FOR THE CHAPTERS AND BENCHMARK REVIEWS???????

Ok, Time to relax. Roll you mouse over the assignments. See where it says these are interim grades that will be updated as progress is made?  Yes, that's the plan. The ZERO is to remind you about what you have reported now - before I have collected data. Your grade will increase after data is collected during the last class period of the week for your class. So, on Thursday I will pass out data charts to each B-day student. Each student  will tell me which chapters were read and will receive 5 pts. per chapter. Each student will also calculate what percentage of benchmarks have been remediated and that percentage will be entered. The same will happen for A day students on Friday. Next week, data will be collected from A day students on Thursday and B day students on Friday and each student who makes progress will see the scores grow. Anyone who is absent or doesn't report their data on time will need to be proactive the next class period.  I will also upload a file for the Check-in document so students may submit it straight to Focus each week as long as it is updated and uploaded on time.

Ok, see that's not so bad. By April 27 everyone will have had enough time to read the 18 chapters and remediate the benchmarks. If you need to work at home to complete the assignment, then that's what you should do. Be advised that these 2 assignments are the only classwork grades you will receive this month, so it's important that you do the work.
