In G5, we GRADE WITH PURPOSE:

4-7 grades in each subject area per marking period

• More feedback, less “scoring”

• Peer collaboration (practicing strategies, reviewing concepts, problem-solving, sharing ideas/tips)

• Scoring - after sufficient time to show mastery

• Formal assessments through quizzes, checkpoints, tests, reading passages and final draft writing pieces. Graded work sent home in Wednesday folders.

• ANY assignment (including formal assessments) can be redone up to a 75% and replace the previous grade. Student must see classroom teacher for redo assignment.

• Late work will be recorded in the grade book as a zero and when turned in will be scored up to a 75%

• Disclaimer: The opportunity to correct assignments and assessments below 75% does not apply to district or state mandated tests.
