Developing Readers, Writers, and Thinkers

Help!

***I use tons and tons of household items to complete science experiments! If you ever have anything that you feel would be of use, please feel free to donate it to my classroom!***

Important Note:

I use homework sheets to assess where all students are. I have had many students make a 100 on all homework assignments, and then they make an extremely low score on their test. If you are going to help your child, please be sure they can do the skill independently after you help him or her!! If your child gets frustrated with an assignment, I am fine with your CHILD writing me a note! I do not penelize students for this, and I usually pull the child into a small group to review the topic.

Many of the assignments students will be receiving each week will be half sheets of paper. I am providing ALL students with a binder clip to clip onto their math homework. Students should be clipping their homework sheets here each night to keep up with them!!

Grading

Grading percentages:

Tests: 40%

Quizes: 20%

Daily Grades/Homework: 40% (20% each)

(Essentially, everything is worth the same amount, and tests are worth double.)

Homework

Homework Policy:

Students can expect about an hour off homework each night! A late paper loses 10 points for each day it is late. Also, if a student forgets his or her homework, he or she will have to sign the homework book and walk 15 minutes at recess.
