Spelling Tests Get Techy This Week

I tried using some tech this week with our spelling tests by having the students take their spelling tests on Google Classroom. We will give this a few weeks to see if this is an effective way to test.  The advantage–students get their scores immediately.  The disadvantage–you have to do a little bit of work to find those scores.  Here’s a little tutorial on how to find them!

  1. Have your child log in to his/her google account (this is the account they use daily in school–he/she knows the username and password).
  2. Go to my blog
  3. Click on the google classroom link.
  4. The Spelling Test can be found as an assignment (every assignment we do is listed here)
  5. Click on the Assignment
  6. You will see this week’s spelling test has been returned and the grade is listed in the corner!
  7. The grade is not calculated as a percentage, but here’s a reference:
15/15 100%
14/15 93%
13/15 87%
12/15 80%
11/15 73%
10/15 67%
