This isn't about fair. It's about two different perspectives of what happened. It's about getting through this and getting the best grade you can while keeping your relationship with your teacher intact (you do have to stick with her for a while, right?)
The best way to handle this, in my opinion, is to ask the teacher which assignments are missing, and ask if there is a way that you can either do an oral re-cap of what you wrote on your assignments, or if you can do them over and turn them in a little late. Or, perhaps she can come up with another solution, especially if you seem intersted in working with her.
Definately don't try to make this into and "I'm right and you're wrong" situation. And certainly don't cry "not fair." Try to negotiate and find a middle ground where you can both be happy. Not only will this be a happier way around the situation, your teacher might actually be so impressed by your maturity that she'll be really nice and give you the benefit of the doubt! (Don't count on it tho :)
If you find that talking with your teacher is upsetting for you, ask a friend or family member to role-play with you before you go in and talk to her. I know, it sounds lame, but it really does help. In your role playing, you not only will you get a chance to practice steering the conversation to the positive, but you might also come up with some other ideas on how to work everything out.
Good luck!

Forget the past missing assignments. Start making two copies of each future assignment. Keep one copy and give the second copy to your counselor ... on the same day the original was given to the teacher. Make sure the teacher sees you place the work in its proper location ... each time.

Tell your parents the truth and have them call your teacher. Teachers will always listen to a parent before they would a student. Also, if you kept the assignment the teacher passed back, show it to the teacher. Maybe it will spark a memory.

Talk with your parents about it. Show them your next few assignments completed. If they teachers try and say you didn't do the work, you have witnesses.
Back in middle school, I had a teacher try really hard to fail me. She never got officially fired...she just "retired" early.

You've got two choices:
1) Stick to your guns and be labelled a trouble maker.
2) Accept that it's your word against theirs and their voice is more likely to be heard.
Your choice. I know which I'd choose. (and in my case they'd probably be right!)

Tell them to look again
Organize their desk
Tell them over and over again
Maybe you can help organize their papers and try to find them.
Make sure that your name was on them!
