PowerSchool

Finally! We have access to Power School! Please let me know if you are having difficulty logging in to view your student's grades. I am still in the process of entering their grades. We have determined what assignments we are entering, and the weights. This is how we are weighting their scores:

Homework: ONE point
Assignments: TWO points
Quizzes- ONE or TWO points depending on the quiz
Test/Assessments: THREE points

I have also been focusing on READING, WRITING, and MATH first. Science is not being evaluated at this time, so the first unit is complete. We are integrating more science into our reading, but that may not be reflected as their science grade.

Thank you for being patient with the gradebook. We have had to use other means to keep track of grades so far. We have had to transfer all of those grades, plus keep up with the new grades, lesson planning, additional assessments, differentiating for math, and getting our wonderful student portfolios ready for our conferences.

Portfolio Conferences went really well!! It was so nice to get chat with you and make sure we are all on the same page:) If we didn't get a chance to meet, and I haven't already set up a time to meet, please email me so we can do that. If it is not convenient for you to come in, we can chat on the phone, or email. It would be nice for you to see your student's work thus far.

Hallway decorations: we need assistance with cutting out leaves to go on our grade level tree. I can send home paper, or you can come in:) We will need help hanging our students' work on Wednesday. Thanks so much!

We also need marbles for our classroom to fill our SPECIALs jar. The students can receive up to five marbles for their behavior and participation as a class in art, music, PE, and spanish classes. 

Please email me if you have any questions:)
