Class participation, homework, class work, projects, as well as, tests and quizzes will help determine the student's grades. My grading policy requires that all work be completed for the due date in order to receive full credit. Assignments (both class work and homework) that are handed in late or incomplete, students will receive partial credit. If an assignment is missing and not turned in, a "0" (zero) will be recorded and reflected in the trimester grade. Students are expected to complete ALL assignments in a timely manner.
To determine the class participation grade, I have created a class participation rubric. Each Friday afternoon, students will sit down and reflect upon their week. Students should be completely honest with themselves and the week they had. Through the course of the week, if something comes up with a particular student I will jot down the behavior/situation to keep with the class participation record.
The class has the opportunity to earn surprises and special activities with our Blurt Beans! Each student is give 5 beans daily If a student blurts out in class, is talking during lessons, etc. they will have to put one bean in the blurt bean jar. At the end of each day, whatever beans are left will go into the prize jar. there are three different levels students can earn. Once we fill to a particular level, we will do something fun!
Students will also an opportunity to shout out their classmates for random acts of kindness with our Kindness Box. At the end of each week, I will randomly choose one act of kindness from the box and they receive a special treat. All students will receive their random acts of kindness slips to see how they have helped a classmate!
Over the summer, I spend a lot of time leveling, labeling, and organizing all of the books within our classroom library. After assessing the students in September with our DRA program, they will know which leveled book is just right for them and will be able to enjoy our new library! I ask that you always encourage your student to read at school when there many be free time and most importantly, at home! Being able to read for periods of time is a skill that many struggle with and I hope with the new classroom library, it will be fun and exciting for them! Also, students are always welcome to bring their own books from home!
