  6. Classroom Management • Our classroom rules are as follows: • Be respectful • Follow Directions • Keep hands and feet to self • Listen carefully and work quietly • Walk in the building • I give Dojo points to reward positive behavior. • ~ 15 can be exchanged for a reward • I give verbal praise and encouragement. • I have an “Oops Book” to keep track of undesired behavior.

  7. Daily Take-Home Folders • Daily folders serve as a communication tool and a way to track student behavior. • Calendar – please check daily We encourage you to read daily with your child. • Math Log – 40 minutes per week if needed

  8. Math Log • Twice each grading period, students will be given a timed math facts test. • Students who show proficiency (95%) will not be responsible for the math log for the next 3-4 weeks.

  9. Homework • In addition to the math logs, students will be responsible for: • Sight words need to be practiced at home for fluency and recognition • Math practice pages as needed • Guided Reading sheets need to be signed after your child has read aloud to you • Math Logs will be checked on Fridays for completion (signatures) • Reading Responses: Will begin the 2nd six weeks. More information will come.

  10. Grading Policy • Progress reports – Target Binders will serve as a progress report and be sent home throughout the six weeks. • Common Assessments – • Scores below a 3 will have the opportunity to retake for a better grade.

  11. Grades • Grades are based on a scale of 1-3. The goal is for each child to be a 3 = Meets expectations. • Writing is a process. This is an area that progresses as the year goes on. • Math is another area of progression. Students will be expected to explain their thinking as well as provide the correct answer.

  12. Target Binder • Assessments for each subject area will be kept in the binder • Used to provide feedback to students • Encourage student accountability • Student goal setting • Show progress • Communication for parents from teachers

  13. We promise… As we begin to modify and improve upon our assessment practices, we can make you these promises: • Your child will continue to experience high quality learning. • We will continue to provide you with information about your child's learning and progress.
