Congratulations on a great first week of school! We know how challenging the past two weeks have been ....but you did it! Challenges grow the human spirit and you should all be proud of what you have accomplished! Our kids look SO happy to be back at school! When things become difficult, please remember the profound difference you are making every single day! You've got this!
Duty Schedule
Duties are assigned for this week only.
You will receive a sign-up sheet to select for the remainder of the trimester.
Setting up Your GradeBook (Grades 3-5)
We will continue to use the averaging method of total points to calculate grades. Listed below is an example of this method. As a grade level, please collaborate to determine “points possible” using the following ranges when assigning grades. If there are other types of assignments other than what is listed, collaborate and be consistent within your grade level regarding the “points possible” for that assignment. These are broad categories to use. Determine the area that best fits your assignment(s) and then collaborate as a grade level to arrive at “points possible” for each assignment. Anything that is practice towards mastery (formative) should focus on the learning and therefore be assigned a lower number of points possible. Your summative focus is where the larger range of points should be.
- Mid Unit Assessment = 30-55 range of points possible
- End of Unit Assessment= 75-100 range of points possible
- Checkpoint= 10-20 range of points possible
- Grammar assignments= 10-20 range of points possible
- Writing (final product)= 100-200 range of points possible
- Spelling= 10-20 range of points possible
- Classwork/Practice (this is where AR)= 5-20 range of points possible
- Homework (includes Dreambox)- not graded
