 **Students will be given an opportunity to re-take the Unit 2 vocabulary test on Thursday. Please ensure that your child studies and is prepared to re-take. 

WAGGLE: Students are expected to complete at least 2 hours per week in order to get full credit for their weekly homework grade. Students who do not meet this requirement will be given a grade of 55. Students can make up that grade by doing additional time another week. Please encourage your child to spend at least 30 minutes each night completing their assignments. 

Students who make a grade below 100% are expected to correct their wrong answers and re-submit for partial credit for all assignments except vocabulary tests and some on-line assessments. Corrections can be done during homeroom, ELT, lunch or after-school. Students must have their homeroom, ELT or lunch teacher's permission. Arrangements for after school must be made in advance. Students are to be picked up by 5pm.  

Parents please check Campus regularly and monitor your child's grades and assignment completion. Assignments with a grade 55 and NHI in the comment box means that assignment was Not Handed In. Email me at baldwink@clarke. k12.ga.us for questions, comments and concerns.

Extra Credit
Students who reach 50% completion with a grade 70 or higher on MobyMax State Test Prep by 5 p.m. on Monday, January 4th will receive extra credit for the 2nd marking period. 


Social Studies

This week in social studies students will be working on a performance task all week that I will take for 1.5 summative grades.  They will be writing a newspaper editorial over the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and coming up with solutions to solve it.  They have been given a large graphic organizer that I will take for a separate 50 point summative grade also.  Their editorials will be due at the beginning of class on Monday Nov. 9th and they will be working on them all week in class.  One Friday students will also take their weekly vocabulary quiz over their first set of history focused vocabulary.  The link to the list is posted below.  The Quarter 1 Benchmark Study Guide I gave to them last week for extra credit is due by Tuesday night Nov. 3 because students will be taking the social studies benchmark Wednesday morning.  Thank you for your support!
