Earlier this week, I asked everyone to give me 3 grades for themselves.
1. Grade that you want to get this semester.
2. Grade that you think you should get this semester.
3. Grade that you think you will get this semester.
These are the first grades to be put in the grade book. My goal is to have the students be able to start the semester at a grade they feel is “right” for them. As we continue to work, students will see the grade deviate from this number and I hope that will help them stay motivated (either because it keeps going up, or to stop it from going down).
A few notes for parents:
– These were grades your children chose for themselves, so feel free to ask them why they feel this way.
– If there is a 0 in the grade book, that means that the directions were not followed.
– If the grade is missing, that is because the exit ticket is missing (either from absence or not turning it in).
