Reading/ Writing Six Weeks Project:

Each six weeks students will be assigned a project.  This will be a test grade.  Their reading project will reflect what they have learned throughout the six weeks. The writing project will be written in the genre for the unit we are studying for that six weeks.

 

Homework:

Homework will be given and due once a month. Spelling/ Vocabulary homework is due on the DUE DATE LISTED AT THE TOP.  Additional ELAR homework for the six weeks, will be to complete any incomplete classwork and will be due the next class period, unless specified.   Not completing homework on time will result in detention.  If for some reason there is no homework for the day/week the students will be notified.  There will also be a vocabulary/spelling test for each unit.

 

Accelerated Reader (AR):

Each six weeks the students will set a personal AR goal.  The minimum amount of this goal is based on their independent reading level and reading an average of 20-25 minutes each night.  The percent of their goal they have earned will be a test grade, and their comprehension percentage will be a daily grade. A new goal is generated at the beginning of each six weeks. You MUST meet your goal or this will significantly impact your grade and could result in failing for the six weeks as well as you will receive a lunch detention for no homework !!! 

 

GRADES:

Students will have at least six daily grades and three major grades.  Students are allowed to make corrections on daily grades  to any student that does not pass an assignment.  . They can make corrections on their own in a different color( leaving original answers) and then return an for average grade for the two up to a 70%.  Daily grades and major grades are weighted as follows:

Daily Grades: 45% of students’ six weeks average, Vocabulary lessons/test  (usually 1 unit per six weeks), Spelling lessons (usually 1 unit per six weeks), other topic quizzes/daily assignments Accelerated Reader comprehension average.

Major Grades : 55% of students’ six weeks average, Unit tests, Spelling test, AR goal achievement percentage (AR GOAL), Projects (every six weeks, will have some class time to complete, depending on the project)

Dear Parents,

Our class will be participating in the Accelerated Reader (AR) program this year.  AR is a county-wide reading program which encourages and motivates students to read books at school and home and earn points by taking computerized comprehension tests at school.  Every book in our school library and classroom library has been given a level, point value, and quiz number.  This information is printed on the back inside cover of every AR book.  Each student has been tested to determine his or her reading level, and I have set point goals based on the test results.  Your child’s book level and point goal for each grading period will be sent home at the top of their reading logs.  Students may also take AR tests every morning in our Library/my classroom from  7:30-7:55 or at the end of the day after school from 3:18-3:45. AR tests may only be taken at school. 

Not every book is in the AR system.  When choosing books from home or the public library, please check online at arbookfind.com to determine if the book is in the AR system.  Your child will not be able to take tests for books which are not in the system.  If you are unsure of this, you can contact me and I will get this looked up for you. 

Each six weeks the students will set a personal AR goal.  The minimum amount of this goal is based on their independent reading level and reading an average of 20-25 minutes each night.  The percent of their goal they have earned will be a test grade, and their comprehension percentage will be a daily grade. A new goal is generated at the beginning of each six weeks. You MUST meet your goal or this will significantly impact your grade and could result in failing for the six weeks as well as you will receive a lunch detention for no homework !!! 

Have fun reading!
