Important Friday Info

Coming home today with your child are their graded first writing assignment (5 paragraph essay about their favorite place) as well as their chapter 2 math test. Some things to keep in mind:

Writing

• This piece was modeled from start to finish including an outline, first draft, editing, and revising
• Students were expected to write a 5 paragraph essay including an introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion
• No teacher/student conference was held because it was a graded piece
• Students on grade level are still a "level 3". You will notice that two more spaces were added to the previous rubric (3- and 3+) because  so a level 3 in the past was such a wide range of actual scores.

Math

• We did start corrections in class and modeled how corrections for each question are to be completed
• It is the responsibility of the students to work through their corrections and they will not be accepted after Monday
• Math tests make up 90% of the math grade on the report card. The other 10% is a homework average given for each chapter based on the number of homework assignments.
