Grade Transferer will take care of it for you, and I’ve embedded a video showing how it works for Infinite Campus. I also hope we’re all being very flexible with grades, as I point out in this tweet: But in the midst of this, please continue to deduct points for missed assig

I usually use the two-volume America’s Story textbook and supplement it with activities on our U.S. History class blog , online activities fr

There is some similarity between this advice and The Best Piece Of Classroom Management Advice I Ever Read . I’m adding this
