RESPONSE TO GRADING PROGRAMS:
"Danielle,
The best recordkeeping program I have found is Grade-
keeper, by Teacher Created Materials. It is easy and
quick to do in just a few minutes. You can print out
class grades or student grades. Parents love seeing the
itemized assignments with grades and possible points. I
have shared it with several teachers in my school and
they love it, too. Thanks for asking."

Fourth grade teacher
