Notes on the Dress Code

Today in our class meeting we covered some issues that I would like to share with you.
Dress Code:
Just a reminder that there are to be No Flip-Flops (although it is getting colder, they are still trying to wear them)
Secondly, The sixth grade teacher have decided that the Rocket Football Cheerleader "Skirts" are not to be worn to school. Many of the do not fall under the dress code in the handbook as far as the length goes. The shirts can be worn.

Grading:
I walked the students through the grading process. They were shown that the grade break down for each subject is as follows:
Homework/Classwork (daily practice) 20% of the the total grade
Quizzes (weekly assessment) 30% of total grade
Assessments (Tests)- 50% of the total grade (Prove what they have learned and if they have retained the information)

I feel that this explanation helped them to understand the emphasis on learning and then having the opportunity to show what you have learned. I focus on reteaching at the practice stage so that they have the opportunity to show learning and growth at the assessment stage.
