  9. What are we learning and when? (Tentative)

  10. Grading • Points/Percentages/1,2,3 Scale • Participation • Progress towards mastering concepts/core standards • Rain check coupons- punch card to prevent assignments from being late (One card per term) • Extra Day coupon- provides one extra day to work on assignment without being marked late (One per term) • Without a rain check or extra day coupon, all late assignments will be docked 10% for every day late • Coupons do not count towards projects or tests • No name papers will be posted on the board for a day or two, and if not claimed will be thrown away • Extra credit is available upon request

  11. Testing • All instruction and assessment is aligned with Utah DESK standards • Stem/Spelling Tests on Friday • Formal/Informal • Hands On Projects • Make up tests when needed • Re-do tests if necessary • Cheating will result in an automatic zero with no chance to make up the score

  12. Management • Focus on the Positives! • Give out “positives” or points to students/groups who are doing something good • End of the week students count up how many they have and turn them in • Monday a random number is chosen and if the student has that many positives or more they get to spin for prizes on my spinning wheel • Any negative behaviors will warrant • Talking with teacher • Behavior plans/contracts • Calling home • Missed recesses • Consequences set up by the school

  13. Class Rules • My Class Rules: • 1. Don’t do anything that will embarrass yourself, your classmates, or your family. • 2. Only say things that are appropriate and uplift those around you. • 3. Books will be treated with respect! (Includes my books, their books, library books, textbooks, etc.) • 4. Have fun!! • As a class we will come up with our own rules to add to this list as well as any consequences they feel should happen when these rules are broken. • We will be creating a class constitution outlining our expectations for the year and what we are looking forward to.

  14. Expectations for Students • Students will come to class prepared every day • Homework should be done on time, completely finished • First thing on papers is the student’s name • Students should have fun! • Everyone should participate • Students should do their very best on everything • Absolutely NO cheating! • Students should be responsible sixth graders who prove to be great examples to the younger students

  15. Expectations for Parents • Email me with concerns, questions, or comments • Support your student in his or her endeavors • Help your child with homework when necessary • Come to our Student-Led Conferences and celebrate the accomplishments of your child! • Check your student’s grades often • Check the class website for homework, events, or information • Enjoy the year with your student (It’s the last time they will be in elementary!) • Challenge your student to do his or her best!

  16. Communication • Parents should feel like they can email me anytime • niwright@dsdmail.net • I will send home a weekly newsletter in the Monday Folder with updates and info • If you would like to volunteer in the class please join us for our Volunteer Orientation/Training Tea on September 5th at 2:00pm. • Emailing is easiest to get ahold of me • Class website is located on the school website • Any assignments or info is located on this page for reference • Check the calendar for upcoming events • If you have questions, concerns, or comments please don’t hesitate to let me know!
