  1. Mrs. Kennett’s Third GradeCurriculum Night

  2. My Philosophy • Learning should be engaging. • Enthusiasm for learning • Build understanding through doing- hands on/ use of manipulatives • Differentiation – developmental level, process or product.

  3. Mission Our mission is to do our best by working hard, being prepared, paying attention, and participating in class. This will help us achieve our maximum potential to earn a 3 or higher on the EOG Test and be ready for 4th grade.

  4. Expectations • Independent and responsible individuals • NC Standard Course of Study • Gateway year

  5. Essential Curriculum • LearnNC.org • Brochure given at Open House

  6. Assessment Cycles • One Baseline Assessment • 2 Predictive Assessments • A common formative assessment (CFA) between the Predictive Assessments • Math Pre-tests for individual units • Quizzes • End of Unit Math tests • Reading and Spelling tests • EOG

  7. Math • Using math pre-tests for individual units allows me to adjust for learning differences. (Remediation, Skill Practice, and Enrichment.) • Hawks time • Scaffolding on math tests; retest or redo • Accelerated Math

  8. Reading • Scott Foresman Reading Street – Weekly reading selections with skill and comprehension tests • Accelerated Reader • Reading Logs • Book Clubs for differentiation

  9. Homework Policy • On time (before the completion of announcements on day due) • Late - after announcements and the following day. Should still be completed even if late. • Responsibility vs. accuracy • Returning to school for work • Parent involvement in student work

  10. ISS Grading Scale • A = 93 -100 • B = 85 – 92 • C = 77 – 84 • D = 70 – 76 • F = 69 and below • 69 is the lowest grade I give unless the assignment is not turned in at all. A zero will then be given. • Please discuss your expectations with your child; letter vs. number. Grades and averaging are new concepts. • Any grade below a 77 can be corrected. The highest grade that will be given is a 77.

  11. 21st Century Learners • Goal: To teach and prepare our children to utilize technology in a competitive global society. • Accelerated Reader / Math • Blogs • Websites to build background for weekly stories • Multiplication fact practice online • Newsletter online • Vocabulary & spelling on web page • Parent & student resources on web page • Tutorials for math on web page • Video taping for presentations and projects • PowerPoint presentations; mine & theirs

  12. Communication • Email • Handwritten notes • Transportation changes • Absences (now available online as well) • Planner • Newsletter (online) • Weekly Folders • Phone through school • Conferences • Definitely at the end of 1st & 3rd quarters • Whenever progress does not meet expectations • Web page

  13. Absences • It is very difficult to make up missed instruction time especially if your child struggles with any particular subject. • 10 tardies = 1 full absence • Excused absences are outlined in the Student Handbook.
