Good morning everyone!
To all those who celebrate, I wish you a happy and healthy start to Ramadan!
Try your best with the Edulastic quiz on Google Classroom today. It should be linked on the classwork tab on Google Classroom. I am looking for effort and participation- it doesn’t need to be perfect. 🙂 We also have a plan to help make math a little easier starting next week, so I will share more info then.
As for the social studies business project, please continue to follow the directions I linked here and on Google Classroom. I will link them again below. I also recorded myself talking about the project when we had our Google Meet, and I uploaded that video to Google Classroom if you our your student needs a review.
Students can feel free to use any medium to present their work as long as they have all 6 components for the project! This could be a Google Doc, Google Slides, poster board, regular paper, whatever works for your student! I know Jana created a 3D box diorama with her restaurant business, and is writing down the components to go along with it, which is awesome. Abraham is drawing his on paper as well as listing each component. These are both great examples!
I want your student to have fun and be creative while learning and working on this project. 🙂 The goal is to share during our Meet next Tuesday. Feel free to reach out with any questions, but I am just looking for creativity and an understanding of the basic concepts listed in the instructions.
On that note, here is a breakdown of the elementary grading criteria for this card marking:
Elementary Grading Criteria – COVID-19 School Shutdown
For the fourth marking period students will receive one of the three marks (Meeting, Progressing, Limited Participation).
- Meeting: regularly submitted work and attended check-ins
- Accuracy of work assessed on standards/graded/recorded in MiStar
- High participation
- Progressing: Submitted most assignments and attended some of the check-ins
- Limited Participation: with one of the following explanations
- Rarely or did not submit work (may be required to attend summer school)
- Rarely attended check-in sessions (may be required to attend summer school)
- Family hardship during the time of instruction (summer support offered)
As you can see, the focus is on effort and participation!! Accuracy of work will be assessed, and I will provide feedback, but my main concern is that your child is attending the sessions, completing assignments, and putting in their best effort. I hope that eases some of the feelings of being overwhelmed- I promise you we all feel that way, and we are working together to make this as smooth and beneficial as possible. 🙂
