This week on Monday, I went over with every class , who was missing Achieve 3000 article activities that were assigned over the Easter vacation. Those students were told that they could finish the work this week, but the only way I would check it is if they (the student) write a note telling me that they have finished the work. Since it is being done late it is up to them to tell me that they are done now, I will not check if i do note get a note and the zero will remain.
