Today you will find the first batch
of graded work being sent home in the Tuesday folder.
If you find a paper that says,
"Redo," please make corrections and return in the Tuesday folder
before the end of this Nine Weeks. After that, I cannot change grades.
If you find a paper that says,
"Retest," your child will retake that test on the given date. This
will be done in school, and the test will be in a different form than the
first, so re-studying is highly recommended.
The highest grade possible for a redo
or retest is a 75% per the Roberts Elementary Grading policy.
It IS true that I do not check
spelling and Wordly Wise homework for each student. I find that some students
need to spend more time practicing than others. If Friday test scores are not
adequate, then I will check homework on an individual child basis to determine
additional practice opportunities. YOU know your child and how much time he/she
needs to commit to spelling/vocab practice.
ALL students are currently in the
September Homework Club. Everyone will remain in the HWClub if they do ALL of
the homework on time in September. At the end of each month, the students in
the HWClub get to have lunch in the classroom with me and do a fun activity.
HWClub is private and not listed publicly. HWClub starts fresh each month.
Please sign that
reading log! Students are held accountable for completing every part of their
weekly reading log, including your initials, to stay in the homework club.
I will further
explain the above and more at Curriculum Night Wednesday, September 11 at
6:30-7:30.
