  7. GRADING Grades are based on the following: 1. Assignments/Homework- sometimes this will be participation, sometimes it will be graded for accuracy. 2. Tests 3. Work Habits 4. Ability to work independently and in groups. 5. Ability to remain on task 6. Attitude/ Effort 7. Responsibility

  8. Attendance • Attendance: Students absent from class are independently responsible for seeing the planner/teacher to get assignments. Homework will be collected if a call is made to the office before 9:30. This is my plan time, and I can get it done during that time. Students will be given two days for every one day missed to make up their work. Students in string, band, and choir will need to make up the missed work and assignments.

  9. HOMEWORK • Homework is an important component of the educational process: • … it provides a practice of skills learned • … it develops good study habits • … it builds responsibility • The Shawnee Mission homework policy calls for ten minutes per grade level. This means that a fifth grade student should have 50 minutes of homework each night. Homework at this grade level may consist of: unfinished work, studying spelling, reviewing math facts, reviewing and studying for tests, completion of projects, vocabulary, research, reading a book, book reports, and long term assignments.

  10. R.O.C.K S.T.A.R Binders • I will be bringing this organizational tool to fifth grade.

  24. CLASSROOM MANAGMENT Our class rule is: It is not okay to be hurtful. It is not okay to be disruptive. In other words, Respect yourself and others at all times. Do not interfere with anyone else’s learning. This rule includes: keeping hands and feet to self, active listening, following routines and procedures in school, quiet work times, and no put-downs, etc. If there is a problem beyond the warning in the classroom, the student will be sent to a safe seat. If there are further problems in the safe seat the child will be sent to a buddy room and fill out a think sheet about what occurred. You will be notified if they are sent to the safe seat. In addition we will have a school incentive program, which may earn us class and individual rewards.
