Parents,
Today your child took his/her first spelling test, and this will come home next week. This year our grade cards will be all standards-based, and there will be no more percents or letter grades. However, this new system does not work well with figuring out grades for traditional spelling tests. Therefore, your child's spelling test will be graded using a percent (correctly spelled bonus words add 1% each). At the end of the quarter, your child's average percent will be converted to a 4, 3, 2, or 1.
- 4 will be given for an average that is 92% or higher
- 3 for 82-91%
- 2 for 72-81%
- 1 for an average that is below 72%.
Reminders:
- Art Shirts - Due next week.
- Book Orders for Mrs. Dressel - Due Friday, 9/6 (Online code GJLYC)
- Home Connect - Use your child's AR login information to access this great site to monitor progress with AR, AM (Accelerated Math), and Math Facts in a Flash. Look in the top right corner for a place to enter your email. You will get an email of his/her results after taking an AR quiz, or completing an AM assignment.
Have a great evening,
Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky
