Your child may have occasional other assignments such as describing something they had seen or done in science or completing a lab report started in science. These are expected to be neat with all conventions correct. I will accept any pages not assigned as extra credit if completed by due dates. Extra credit is to be done on loose-leaf or as Vocabulary Flash Cards. Your child’s first & last name & class must be on anything turned in to me as Extra Credit. Thank you for your help and cooperation.
