DIFFERENTIATION We differentiate instruction, which means that students are taught based on instructional level as well as interest. Groupings change frequently based on students skills and background knowledge. ENRICHMENT We have several students that have been identified as Academically Talented. Enrichment children will have more challenging work experiences and projects, in order to challenge them to their hightest level. This work will also be an option for other children in the classroom who are performing at the same level. GRADING SCALE We use standard based rubrics to evaluate student work and have identified learning essential with each subject area. Students are given grades in the fourth grade. Grading is as follows: 100% - 90% = A 89%-80% = B 79%-70% = C 69%-60% = D 59-below = F Mid-term reports will be issued halfway through each semester. Report cards are issued three times a year. HOMEWORK Homework is assigned Monday through Friday. Students should read twenty to thirty minutes per evening and will have fifteen to thirty minutes of math homework per evening. In the case that homework is not completed on the day it is due, the student is to stay in at recess to finish it. What does not get completed during recess is additional homework that night. If there is a valid reason why the homework cannot be completed in the time given, parents are to write a note to the teacher and an extension will be provided. Please note the Homework help section on the “Student” page on our website. LUNCH Hunters Glen uses a debit card system for your child to enter a pin number each time they purchase lunch at school. Students may bring their lunch money to class and then the teacher will send it to the cafeteria where it will be logged into their account or you can drop off lunch money in the office.
