| Reading is the best way to improve
your learning skills. Almost everyday you will spend the last 10 to
15 minutes of class reading something you choose to read. Always
have a book in your cubby or with you to read during these quiet reading
times.
BOOK POINTS Each quarter you will be required to read 4 books or 20 points. (You are welcome to surpass this goal.) You must read in your reading level, which I have given you. To earn credit for a book you need to take an Accelerated Reading Test or turn in a book report. (forms are located near computer in class) There are some very good books that are not part of our Accelerated Program. You are welcome to read one of these books, but remember to get approval from me before you read the book, All book reports are worth 1 book read. Book points are part of your reading grade. 5 books or 21 or more A.R. points = 30 points A+ 4 books or 16 - 20 A.R. points = 29 points A 3 books or 11 - 15 A.R. points = 27 points B 2 books or 6 - 10 A.R. points = 25 points C 1 book or 1-5 A.R. points = 23 points D 0 books or 0 points will result in a = 0 points F BONUS POINTS Everyone messes up now and then and wishes they could do something to improve their grade. I offer my Reading students an opportunity to do this by earning bonus points. Bonus points can be earned in the following ways: Signed Tests -All tests should be signed and returned. If a test is returned the very next day then 10 bonus points are awarded. Book Talks - Students may give a very short talk about a book they have read. This can be done in class or in the library during library time. This is worth 10 points. Information - Bring in information or objects that pertain to the story we are talking about that week. When a total of 100 points are earned, a student earns an extra A+ to be averaged with their other quarter grades. Points do not carry over to the next quarter. |
| Welcome
to room 203 math! Most days we will begin with a 3 minute timed
fact test. Next, we will correct the previous day's homework.
We will then have a short lesson directly from the book and then begin the
day's homework assignment.
Timed Tests A timed test is to help you to improve your math memory skills. It is corrected, but never graded. Your goal is to try to do more problems in less time than you did the test before. You will keep a chart of your own tests to see how you are improving. The chart will stay in your class math folder. Homework - You will need plenty of loose-leaf paper. - Homework given each day except Friday. - Homework assignments are worth 10 points each. (see chart) Always check your work so that you get the most points possible! - Every 10 lessons homework points will be totaled and a homework grade given. There are usually 3 or 4 of these totaled homework grades per quarter. Occasionally a grade is given to one lesson. You may not know before hand about this. Homework Points 0 - 3 wrong = 10 points 7 - 9 wrong = 6 points 4 - 6 wrong = 8 points 10 or more wrong = 5 points No homework = 0 points late homework = 4 points TESTS Tests are the biggest part of your grade. I try to have tests on Fridays. You will be given a pretest with the answers on the back to study a few days in advance so that you will know what kinds of problems to study. It is your job to study these! ( Please return the sample test for 10 bonus points.) All tests should be signed and returned. (10 bonus points if returned the next day) Bonus Points Bonus points may be earned by returning signed tests the next day and by returning pre- tests. A total of 100 bonus points will earn a student an extra A+, which will be averaged with other grades at the end of each quarter. Bonus points do not carry over to a new quarter. Mid term grade A mid-quarter grade will be sent home halfway through the quarter. This is to be signed and returned.
