How do I email the teacher?
Simply click on the icon marked email in the upper righthand corner of the
home page or click on the word email at the top of any page in this website.
My email address is SCroom31@comcast.net. It's easy to remember
since it stands for St. Christopher Room 31--get it? :}

What is a rubic?
A rubric is one way of assessing the children's work. It looks for very
specific skills or areas for that particular piece. Each skill is assigned
a certain amount of points. If the child's work meets all the criteria for
that skill, they get the most amount of points. If not, points are deducted
accordingly. Rubrics do not have to add up to 100. They can be as few or as
many as the person making up the rubric and the assessment feel is necessary.
--------------------------------------
What do the letter grades represent?
O = Outstanding
VG = Very Good
G = Good
S = Satisfactory
I = Improvement Needed
U = Unsatisfactory
However, more and more assessments will be graded using rubrics so learning
will be assessed to see if the child has acquired the skill or needs more
reenforcement in certain areas.

What is the Peer Helper Program?
Here are some of the details about the Peer Helper/Reading Team Program. The
eighth grade Helpers come down during their lunch period to work with the
children It is right after our lunch period and the whole class participates
receiving either tutoring or enrichment. It will be a part of our Thursday
schedule and no one is missing class time. In the past, the children have
developed a nice rapport with the older students and benefitted from this
extra assistance. Eve gives the helpers some pointers in dealing with the
children and either Eve or I will be in the room with the children at all
times. I hope this has cleared up any questions. If you would like to talk
further about this, please contact me and I will call you so we can discuss
it.
