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. Vocabulary tests can be re-taken during ELT. 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.

Social Studies


This week in social studies will be continuing in Unit 7 Africa geography.  Our focus this week will be on African culture and ethnic groups.  Due to parent conferences and early release we will not have a vocabulary quiz this week.  However students will take their Unit 7 common assessment over Africa Geography on Friday.  This will be their first summative grade of the 4th 9 weeks.  The study guide is linked below and due Thursday afternoon. Continuing to use the Africa coach book and other resources posted in google classroom to reinforce what we are doing in class will be very beneficial.  Thank you for your support!




 Language Arts News
REMEMBER THE OUTSIDERS FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL?

This story is one of the most popular texts I have ever taught; hardly anyone who reads the book doesn't like it.  Ask your child to tell you  what's happening each night.  We start this wonderful adventure this week.

As an introduction to The Outsiders, students will complete an electronic investigation into the 1960s, from James Dean to James Brown.  Please encourage your student to bring a CHARGED laptop every day.

Almost every assignment is posted on Google Classroom.  Ask your child to show you his account for ELA.

Hope to see you at Parent Conferences this week!
