Fifth Grade Online Assignments for the year 2009-2010
Expectations:
1. Do your best work and take your time on your assignments. If you rush through your work and submit sloppy work, you will have to deal with a lower grade. There is no excuse for sloppy work when you are given enough time to complete the assignment.
2. Do not wait until the last minute to complete your assignment. If you wait until the last minute, you may not get the assistance you need should you have any problems or questions with the assignment/technology.
3. If you have an issue, please e-mail me immediately. I will get back to you as soon as I can, but I cannot help you if you do not contact me. Do not wait until the day of class to tell me about your problem. My e-mail address is torresw@rpcs.org .
4. Check your grammar and spelling before you submit an assignment.
5. Cite your sources. Anytime you use information for any project, discussion or research paper, you must document where you got the information. Citing information means you are giving the author credit for his or her work. If you do not cite your sources, this is considered stealing.
6. Late work will result in a lower grade or a consequence sheet.
Some of the files shown were created in Microsoft Office 2007. If you have an earlier version of Microsoft Office, you may download and install a converter tool. This tool will let you see work from all the different versions of Microsoft Office. Click on the link below to download the converters.******
