3rd Graders get real grades which is both exciting and frightening for children. Always encourage your child to do their best, but don't set a grade expectation until your child has settled in. Remember, reaching a level 4 in second grade only means that your child "mastered" the grade level tasks, it doesn't indicate whether they will be an A, B or C student in 3rd grade.
90-100% A
80-89% B
75-79% C
70-74% D
below 69% F
Daily assignments including quizzes, worksheets, reading responses, reading logs, and participation are counted as 70% of their total grade. Assessments/projects make up 30% of the student's total grade. Our goal as teachers is to support all students in their learning. If a student scores below a 70% on any graded assignment or test, we will work with your child in a small group to reteach the concept. An assignment might be corrected with the teacher, or independently as the situation warrants. If the failing grade was earned on a test, the student will take a retest independently after reteaching sessions.
The highest grade that can be earned on either corrected work, or a retest is 70%. To clarify, if your child retook a math test and scored an 85% on the retest, we as teachers would celebrate the growth and your child will have the necessary skills for future assessments -- but the recorded grade would be a 70%.
Incomplete Work
Children learn at different rates, so as much as possible we offer students extra time if they need it to demonstrate their learning. There are situations when a student does not use class time wisely, either delaying, socializing or allowing too many assignments that are partially finished to accumulate. When this happens, teachers may ask students to come at 7:15 in order to finish their assignments.
