4,3,2,1...What+do+the+numbers+mean?

During this school year your child will come home with graded work that will be assigned a 1, 2, 3, or 4. This is what those numbers mean:

1 means that the assignment is significantly below grade level expectations. If a student receives a 1 on an assignment I will discuss this with them and I will write a note saying why they got a 1. In some cases I will ask the student to redo the assignment.

2 means that the assignment almost meets grade level expectations, but may be missing something. In most cases a 2 is given when a student forgot their last name or date, has words that are spelled incorrectly that have already been taught, or has turned in sloppy work.

3 means that the assignment meets grade level expectations and that the student followed all directions and did quality work.

4 means that the assignment exceeds grade level expectations and that the student went above and beyond and is doing 2nd grade level work or above.

REMEMBER: As the year goes on the expectations will change. As we learn new things and grow as learners I will raise the bar on what is considered quality work. If you ever have a question about a grade that your child received please do not hesitate to contact me so we can discuss this.
