There are a few items which I believe will help with this school year.
- Grading Scale: The grading scale is a 7 point scale. All graded items will be graded according to this scale. The scale is posted on the side of the blog page, but it is as follows:
A 100 -- 93
B 92 -- 85
C 84 -- 78
D 77 -- 69
F 68 -- below
- Tests/Quizzes: By now, your child has already had a test and/or quiz in one or more subject areas. Every Friday your child will have a Weekly Math Quiz. This quiz will cover a majority of the material that I teach in class. A good resource for reference/study is the daily Math Calendar. I also will give a Study Guide for MOST Science and Social Studies tests/quizzes. The students keep these guides in their notebooks. These guides are a great tool for reviewing the material.
- Calendar Math: Daily Calendar Math is the first item your child completes in class. The amount of time it takes to complete this work depends a great deal on the amount of time your child actively works at his/her work. There is about 25 minutes for Calendar Math to be completed. Calendar Math is a daily REVIEW of concepts that are taught during Math class, so completing Calendar Math should not be difficult. Please encourage your child to come to school and focus
You must be working hard and smart to manage a class of fifth grade boys and girls. Good luck this school year and I hope everything goes pretty good!
