November News:

Fourth grade expectations have fully "kicked in."

Students lose points on their work for missing, capital letters, punctuation, spelling, and not following directions. We discussed this as a group in our morning meeting. 

Work that is incomplete is graded as is, and as always, students have a chance to redo work that is below a 70% over the weekend that it is passed back, provided it has been signed by a parent/caregiver.

Redo Policy:

If students get below a 70% on a graded assignment, they may ask to retake/redo the work. The only time this is not allowed is if retakes become a habit rather than a student doing their very best work the first time.

Math tests: Student must reach a mastery of 80% on math tests. There will be reteaching and retesting for those that test below the 80%. The new test will only be on items that they had incorrect answers for.

I want children to self-advocate, it is a wonderful skill to foster!
