1. Reminder: Grades 5% = Practice – assignments that we are practicing and learning skills 95% = Assessments – Assignments that show what we have learned. Remember, to get growth points, you must have the assignment handed in. This includes practice assignments. Practice assignments show me that you are trying and are not a large part of your grade, but still are very important because I give you feedback to help you do better so that when we get to the tests, you will know what to do!
