Homework Grading
The homework packets are graded on a 4-point scale, similar to that of the report cards.
4 - Student went above and beyond in effort and quality; did extra challenge work
3 - Complete packet, great quality
2 - Multiple incomplete pages, sloppy work
1 - Very few pages are done
* I give few 4's, so look for a 3.
Homework packets are due every WEDNESDAY. Reading Logs are due every last day of each month or first week of the following month.
Home Connection Projects
* These are the projects that the kids will do throughout the year. Instructions will be sent home near the due dates. These are past year's examples so the students/dates may not reflect the current class.
