How do I know how to complete the Current Events assignment?
Each child was issued a Current Events packet in the beginning of the year. Every child is responsible for researching a current event in the world, nation, or local area and presenting it to the class. A schedule for each month can be found on the "Current Event Due Days" section of this website. Students must bring in their Current Event article and activity to present to the class on their designated day. The activity choices allow each child to decide how he/she would like to express the idea through a creative format. The choices are as shown: summary, Poster Time, Rhyme or Reason, or a Headline Poem (see Current Events packet for more detailed descriptionts). The same choice cannot be made in back-to-back months. Be creative! Articles and presentations will be made to the class, and the students will vote for the TOP 2 Current Events each week. Happy Hunting!Back to Top
When are Reaction Responses due?
Reaction responses are due every other week, on your designated Reading Reaction Response day. These pieces are due the second and fourth week of every month, unless otherwise specified.Back to Top
How can I earn extra credit towards my final grade in different subjects?
Students have various opportunities to earn extra credit. For instance, students may correct their Math Pre-Test for extra points towards their Unit Test score. Students may also complete the Home/School Connection in their Science Journals for extra points towards a unit test. For a Reading grade boost, students may respond to a piece of classical music using the same format as the Reading reaction responses. For a Writing grade, students may write extra credit poems. Be sure to check out the different subject icons for more information. You can respond to a piece of classical music, cook a colonial treat, etc. If you have any questions, please see me.Back to Top
What do I do if I miss class due to a band lesson?
All students are responsible for making up the work they miss when they attend a band lesson. Those in-class assignments become homework, and are due the next day.Back to Top
What happens if I forget to hand in homework when it is due?
Students that forget to complete homework, leave it at home, etc. fill out a "Homework Diary" sheet that day. The student records why the homework is not done, and the sheet is returned to me. When the assignment is completed, that date is recorded on the sheet as well. Once three assignments have been missed (and eventually turned in), the Homework Diary sheet is stapled to that week's Weekly Report for the parent to review and sign.Back to Top
