On Friday, students will be given an interim report to take home.
This report:
1. is informal (it doesn't go into the student files);
2. is to inform students on their progress to date in Math, English and S.S.;
3. provides a letter grade which is subject to change based on their performance for the remainder of the term.
As a step towards becoming independent learners, students are also running through self assessments. Recognizing strengths and accomplishment is important, but so is identifying weaknesses and areas for growth.
On the horizon in my subject areas:
Math: There is a Fractions unit exam on February 15th.
English: Students will get one computer block to type the neat copy of their medieval character description. Brainstorming, drafting, proofreading and editing was to be done in class. However, if students need more than one hour to type a page, they can do the work at home.
S.S.: We will be doing map work at school. There won't be any homework unless students miss the class; they are expected to make classes up, if they do.
Today's word is: assessment
