Today in class, all students received their graded Adverb Menus back. These grades are available on Parent Portal. As usual, any student scoring below an 80% is encouraged to either make the corrections noted on the returned work or attend a help session. For this help session, students were invited to give their name and the name of their first connection's teacher to Ms. Jackson or Ms. Flowers. On Monday, these students will be excused from their first connection class to attend the help session.
Additionally, students received their graded writing tests back. These were scored on an 8th grade scale and therefore I decided to raise these grades in parent portal (formative) by 10 points. Students reviewed their writing in class today along with the feeback provided by the scorers. Furthermore, students noted their scores in each area of the test on a chart which will be mainited in a writing folder that will follow them from 6th to 7th and 8th grades.
No homework tonight.
