Homework and Grading policy:
09/05 /2015
Homework will be given in Science to all Beulah Shoesmith Elementary students in grades K-6th. Homework is copied and distributed to homeroom teachers on the first day of the school week. It is due on the last day of the school week with the student's name on it.
I collect the homework each week, grade it, and return it to each homeroom teacher the following week. I trust that homeroom teachers distribute graded work to students on a timely manner. No late homework will be accepted and homework without a name on it will not receive credit.
Homework and Interactive Notebook Grading is based on a 10-point system (K-6th)
10- Substantially exceeds the standards
9- Exceeds the standards
8- Slightly above the standards
7- Meets the standards
6- Below the standards
5 or less- Substantially below the standards
