5. Class Reading Log
Students will visit the Media Center once a week to check out 2 books. Please help monitor that your child is bringing home “Just Right” books.
Each month I will post a reading log on the blog. Students who complete their reading log and return it at the end of the month will receive a certificate for a FREE pizza from Pizza Hut for the months of October through March!
Keep a look out for announcements from our Media Specialist, Mrs. McCurry about a new reading program for students.

7. Standards-Based Report Card
The purpose of the report card is to show what each student is able to do, understand, communicate, and know based on the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS).
Students will be assessed using a number system of 3+, 3, 2, or 1.
The standards (found on the front of the report card) stay consistent throughout the entire year. However, please note that each nine weeks the benchmarks (found on the report card) change and the expectations become more challenging.

8. Evaluating Student Progress
Each student will be assessed to determine his/her progress toward mastery of the standards in the subjects of Language Arts (Reading and Writing), Social Studies, Technology, Mathematics, Science, and Health.

9. Progress Reports/ Report Cards
Progress reports will be given every 4 ½ weeks to those children in danger of receiving a “1-Limited or minimum progress” in the standards for their grade level or an “N” for learning skills and behaviors
Report Cards will be distributed every 9 weeks.

11. Homework
Homework menus are posted on our class blog weekly. Please download and print!
Students should choose one homework activity for each day. Have students color in the square for the activity they completed. Please keep all student practice work at home. Return the weekly homework menu back to school on Fridays.
Reading homework is minutes nightly. This is a school-wide expectation. Monthly reading logs are also posted on our class blog and on the back of our monthly calendar.
Cobb Digital Library is a great resource!
Please check your child’s Take Home Folder and return daily. Remember, there is no need to sign it daily!
