WHY THIS 4TH GRADE CLASS IS DIFFERENT:

There are many opportunities for success in this class. First, I give up my recess and lunch recess to offer a make-up period for students. I allow them to redo, make-up, or finish any assignment that they need-with assistance. I also allow students to redo any assignment that they did not pass-as many times as they need to be successful-also with assistance. Lastly, I also offer a daily review period of concepts. Yes, that's right; I actually spend between 30-minutes and 1-hour reviewing materials from the previous day's lessons. If this is not enough for your student to be successful, in this class, then please call or e-mail me so that we can discuss this further.

REDO-MARKED WORK:

In regards to redo-marked work, please ensure that every assignment marked below a 70% (C-) or with "Not yet" written on it is redone and returned to the class redo tray. The crediting redo work can take up to five school days to show in Q, our electronic grade book.

Any assignment that carries a score of "**" indicates it has not been turned in yet. Please encourage your student to get their work turned in. If they do not turn in the assignment, the score will eventually turn to "0".
