It is graded and counts toward your child\u2019s report card. It must be completed and turned in on time. It is recommended that your child reads for a minimum of twenty minutes every night.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Classwork<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any classwork that is not finished will be sent home to complete for the next day. Classwork is graded and assessed.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All students will take district created pre and post-tests for each unit of study. Only post-tests count toward grades. Spelling words will be posted to the blog and sent home on Mondays Spelling tests are given every Fridays. Students are tested on spelling of the weekly pattern\/rule as well as spelling and knowing definitions for content words connected to 4th grade curriculum and standards.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Late or Absent Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If absent, a student has the same amount of time to complete their work as the amount of days absent. For example, if a student misses two days, they have two days to make up the work.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Field Trips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Per a new district policy no more than six chaperones can attend a field trip. Chaperones are decided on a first come, first serve basis. Please fill out your new ICHAT in the office if you would like to be a chaperone this year.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appointments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am available to meet after school most days.
