Theory Time Workbook Grades

Over the last 2 weeks or so I have meticulously read through, marked, and graded every student in 3^rd-5^th grade’s Theory Time workbook.  Until the students handed in their workbooks, each class started with 5-10 minutes of “bell work” in their Theory Time books.  During this time, students were able to work quietly and ask questions as I walked around the room.  The students understood that their workbooks would be turned in for a quiz grade and were given extra time to complete unfinished pages before turning them in.

Each book was graded on a 4-point scale:
     4 – almost everything is correct,
     3 – most things are done and I can see they understand the content,
     2 – inconsistent (leaving some things blank or incorrect, but I can see some effort), and
     1 – little to no effort was given. 


Emails went out this evening to parents/guardians of students with 1's.  If you did not see an email, ask your scholar what number they received!  As I told the students, our goal is that everyone is at a 3 or 4 by the end of the year.

I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Fall break!
