This week as the students are preparing and assessing for the grading period we discussed grades. I took time to explain to the students, again, the breakdown of their grades. Each subject are is put into three separate categories.....Each subject has the following breakdown:
Homework / Classwork 20% Practice
Weekly Quizzes 30% Practice & Reteach
6 Week Assessments 50% "Game Time"
I pointed this out to emphasis the importance of practicing for the assessments. During the weeks of the 6 weeks, we have daily practice of skills (a time for help and reteaching), Weekly skill checks (a time for reteaching and asking questions!) then, a six week assessment of retention of skills (Game time)!
HOMEWORK:
Language Arts:
Study vocabulary definitions with someone at home (Vocab. Sheet Provided)
Study spelling words (pg. 125 in the spelling book) Assessment will be 25 words (5 from each list)
Tomorrow is the ....Spelling Assessment & one portion of the Grammar Assessment
Math: None
Parent Thought: Ask your child what they are doing to prepare for the assessments????
We have taken time to learn how to prepare and study (a huge skill for now and the future!)
