I hope everyone enjoyed their LONG weekend! I know I did, but it still seems to go so fast! We sent home yellow folders today FULL of graded papers and other such things, but we did not send home a newsletter today. Last week's Grammar Quiz over Types of Sentences will come home tomorrow. I want to go over these in class tomorrow and discuss them again. Since several students did not do too well, I am going to give everyone a chance to improve their grade by offering a RETEST next Monday, September 12th. If your child got an 85% or higher, he/she does not HAVE to retake the test, but is welcome to do so if they would like the chance to get a higher grade. I will take the average of the two tests together for a final test grade.
Also, don't forget that Reading Logs count as a daily grade in Reading as well as AR. Each student is expected to have 10 AR points by the end of the grading period. This will count as a Reading Grade. I will also take a separate reading grade for the average percentages of the scores of these tests. For example, if a child earns ten points but took 20 test and averaged a 60% on the quizzes, then they will get 100% for one grade and a 60% for another. Thus, please encourage your child to be reading AR books at home (during Reading Log time) and taking AR quizzes over those books. There is time given almost every day for students to take AR quizzes.
Tonight's homework: Reading Log and Study Spelling Words.
Tomorrow we have Library, so please remember to bring back your books!! Have a great night!!!
