  11. Student Achievement • Student Achievement is data driven and differentiated. • Topics included during Student Achievement are based on grade level standards and expectations. • Instruction will align with FES targeted areas of growth as well as the PA Core. • ELA topics will include additional practice with core writing forms (narrative, opinion/argument, and informative/explanatory), text dependent analysis, making connections between texts, robust vocabulary, figurative language, and English applications. • Math will include techniques and strategies that both support and enrich topics covered within the curriculum. • No specific grade will be given in Student Achievement on the report card, but items will be graded and given to the ELA or math teacher for inclusion with report card grades.

  12. Mathematics* Students were grouped according to District Criteria. • District Criteria • Achievement Scores • IOWA Test • End of Book Test • Basic Fact Test • Student Attributes • 2nd Grade

  13. Mathematics • Harcourt Publishing • Groups are Homogeneous (Academic I) and Heterogeneous (Academic II) • The difference between Academic I and II is the pace of the class and the depth of exploration. • All groups receive the same curriculum – same book • All groups have same goal of completion of book • 75 minutes of uninterrupted time • Data driven criteria for this years placement • Goal – solid, strong math skills + positive attitude toward subject

  16. Homework Policy by 3rd grade teachers • Students are responsible for recording assignments and having required work in class on time. • Homework will not be given on Day 1 of an illness. Please e-mail or call on Day 2 for work. • Every attempt will be made to honor vacation homework requests; however, we are limited by our need to plan which does not occur until Thursday of the week before. • Attendance at orchestra does not excuse a student from classwork/homework.

  17. General Purposes We Agree Upon • Homework should help children: • review and practice what they’ve learned • get ready for the next day’s classes • learn to use resources, such as libraries, internet searches • explore subjects more than time permits in the classroom • develop good habits and attitudes • We will assign regular math homework, as math, like bike riding, comes with concerted effort and requires ample practice to enhance the conceptual understanding.

  18. Teacher Responsibilities • Go over assignment board – keep it up-to-date • Homework is posted on my website • All assignments will be written in assignment book. • Give reminders about organization. • Show consistency in checking homework. • Be firm in the requirement of having materials in class • Provide assistance, whenever possible, to those struggling to meet requirements. • Kindness........Patience.......Encouragement..... • Consistency......!

  19. How can you help your child? • Organization: • Find out how your child is doing with assignment book. • Your child is responsible for writing assignments – not you! • Help your child keep his/her accordion folder organized. • Time Management: • Track assignments on a monthly calendar at home. Work backward from the due date of larger or long term assignments or tests. • Break into nightly tasks. • Designate a time that works for your child/family. • Prioritize: • Have your child label activities and school tasks 1-3. • Check-in frequently to see how the tasks are being done.
