Hi Chelsea,
I stamp the entries every single class period. It's a way for me to show a classroom presence by having one-on-one interaction with every student. I collect the forms and use this as a participation grade for each grading term.

Since I teach high schoolers, I hold the students accountable for the stamps. I only collect these logs three-four times a semester. The students have to keep them in their notebooks. I usually give them a few days notice that I'll be collecting them. When I collect them, my TA adds up the stamps and that is how many points they earn. These do count toward report card grades. I put them in the participation category. The points usually account for about 5 percent of their grade.

Curious though, how do you keep track of who got stamps that day and who didn't? Do you include these points on report cards?
