On going:
- After students complete twelve required worksheets (1-12) called "Atlas Work," they can begin to earn extra credit by doing more of the "Atlas Work" pages (13 -16). Students may always come after school to do "Atlas Work" for extra credit. It is a good way to get to know the world and to practice atlas reading skills. If your child ever wants or needs extra credit, this is a good option. Atlases are not sent home. This work must be done at school.
- Sometimes an extra credit SN is offered. (Available on May 10th.)
- Extra credit points are sometimes built in to an assignment itself, such as on Geo Quizzes.
