Lizzie's grades for weeks four and five

Currently, nothing has been turned in for these weeks but one Geography assignment. Each assignment is losing five points a day. Everything that was due on Sept 18th has now lost 50 points. Soon, these assignments will receive a zero, even when turned in.
Remember, October 2nd is the end of the six weeks' grading period. It would be a good idea for you to be totally caught up by then. Not having assignments turned in on time negatively affects your overall grade, not just the grade for the assignment itself.
If you are behind more than two weeks at the end of November, I will no longer be doing school for you.
