Final Count Down

Students were able to use their class textbooks with their Asia final for today and Wed. However, all students are to use their own textbooks for Wednesday. Forget to have your book, and it's tough toodles! All my books will be stored out of sight. As all textbooks are to be turned in to me on Wednesday. I will be issuing damage forms to anyone who returns a book in less than perfect condition. This was only the 2nd year for our books and mine were in excellent shape.

 Some students may have an M in some assignments that have been completed. I am trying to grade and post as quickly as possible. My goal is to finish this weekend and have all grades up to date including the final; it will be graded in class on Friday.

Next week we will be watching and discussing the pro's,con's, and effects of a BBC special, History of the World War II: Hiroshima.

School is not over yet!!! Grades are still being taken. Test Wed.

Study guides were given out today and will be graded in class on Tues. Chapter 24 test is on Wed.

Amendment to Syllabus as of 2009 on Classwork

Dear Parents,

As of January 2009, I have informed students on a regular basis that when given an entire class period to complete an assignment, it is expected that the assignment will be finished and ready for grading in class the next day, or it will result in a zero. The policy of assigning a 50% to class work that is late has created a bad habit of not completing work on time. Those students who always have their classwork completed on time should not worry. As we approach 8th grade, students need to assume more responsibility for their work and to budget their use of class time more wisely. I hope that all parents understand the intent of this amendment. Homework will continue to receive a 50 if it is one day late. Please note I will be sending home a copy of this amendment to be signed and returned. Thank you in advance.
                                                                            

                                                                             Sincerely, 

                                                                             Mrs. Baylor
