5th+Grade+Procedures

= = = **Grading  **  =  Students are encouraged to go back to their work and edit incorrect thinking. A grade of 80% shows **mastery** of a skill or idea. Since **learning** is the goal, I will allow students with a grade LESS than 80% to correct work for a better grade, but more importantly **greater understanding** on **current content areas.** Corrections must be places in the **LATE/CORRECTED BOX** on my desk within **2 weeks** from the day the work was submitted.
 * **How to correct most papers**
 * Look up the answer in your textbook/workbook
 * Write the page number next to the missed question
 * Correct the answer
 * Turn in the corrected paper to the Late/Corrected file on my desk
 * **How to correct math pages**
 * Rewrite the equation or correct the answer
 * Explain how you corrected the answer
 * Turn in the corrected paper to the Late/Corrected file on my desk
 * **How to correct spelling tests**
 * Take test on [|__Spelling City__] for the lesson you are correcting
 * Write “Spelling City” at the top
 * Turn in your spelling test to the corrected box
 * The highest score on Spelling City practice test is averaged with the original score for a final grade

 * **How to calculate corrected grades **
 * Previous grades are averaged with new grade after the corrections
 * For example:
 * Old Grade 75% (missed 5, total of 15 out of 20)
 * After Corrections 85% (missed 3, total of 17 out of 20)
 * Averaged Grade(75%+85%)/2=80% Final Grade
 * **Maintaining Work **
 * **Late Work**
 * 10% is deducted for every week a paper is late
 * After 2 weeks, a paper will be closed and permanently IC, incomplete, 0%
 * After 2 weeks students will be moving on to new content, they are encouraged to stay current with the subject content
 * **No Name Work**
 * If work is matched to their owner, they will still receive a 10% deduction
 * Work that is unknown are tacked to the beck bulletin board for one week
 * After one week, work is retired to a no name file below students file boxes
 * Pages that are unknown will be listed as IC=0% in Gradelink for 2 weeks, before being closed at 0% if work is not located
 * **Incorrectly Labeled Work**
