Missed Assignment Mishap

After collecting a class set of assignments on the due date, a teacher candidate realizes that three of the students who had required assistance and redirection earlier in the week did not submit their assignments. She documented the missed assignments in the learning skills and work habits section of her associate teacher’s grade book.
