Student Binder Pencil Pack Agenda D 1: Spelling D 2: S.S. D 3: Math D 4: Science D 5: Reading D 6 Language Arts D 7: Graded Work (to be removed daily) Organization is the key!
Homework • Should be highlighted in student agenda • Mainly work not finished during the school day • Study for tests (weekly spelling and reading tests) • Math, Language, Science & S.S. tests are at the end of a unit of study • Special projects throughout the year • ***Students with missing assignments will complete the assignment during recess. If missing work becomes consistent, you will be notified.
Accelerated Reading It’s up to the students how far they want to go in the A.R. program. The students will set their own goals for the program. We will also set weekly goals for the class. Those students meeting the weekly goal (who have kept their average 85% or higher) will participate in “Lunch Bunch” on Fridays. There will also be other incentives. For instance, students can purchase items and fieldtrips at the A.R. store with points earned.
Academic Expectations • The students will set goals for themselves in each subject. We will provide the resources • and support for each child to meet his/her individual goals. We will document the students’ • progress using data notebooks (more info. to come). • We will be your child’s best cheerleader! We will give 100% daily, and expect the same • in return from the students. Remember…It’s okay not to know. It’s not okay not to try! • Cheating is not tolerated. You will be called immediately if there is evidence of • cheating. This includes cheating on A.R. tests. Students deserve a second chance; • therefore, the assignment or test can be retaken for a maximum score of 80%. For A.R., • the student’s consequence will be the loss of 50% of points earned.
“Principles for Sailing” I am the captain of my ship. I am in “ship-shape.” I chart my course. I set sail. I am a good crewmate. I lend a hand on deck. I check my compass. I persevere through storms. I celebrate victories and set sail for new destinations! *Please see handout for a detailed explanation of each.
