We are back to school! We were only in our regular classroom for two days and it was too hot without the air conditioning. We have moved across the hall to a cooler room. We hope to be back in our regular room soon.
I am still posting homework on the board every day in the front of the room. It is also posted on a chart in the room. The chart has two weeks of homework posted. It had to be updated with new dates after the storm. Here is the current posting:
8/19- FL38-39,#1-2
8/26-FL40-41,#1-2
8/27-FL42-43,#1-2
8/28-FL44-45#1-2
8/29-FL46-47,#1-3
I gave every student a copy of the Homework Rubric to hole punch and put in their notebook. The Rubric tells every student my expectations and how their homework will be graded. Here is a copy:
Home Work Rubric-vocabulary and questions
3-outstanding
Student has written paper in cursive. Underlined vocabulary words and written the complete definition from the book. Restated the questions and written complete sentences. Work is capitalized correctly. Spelling is good with very few or no mistakes. Paper is neat and organized with correct answers. Maps are correct and neat
2-satisfactory
Student has underlined vocabulary words and written complete definition. Restated questions and written complete sentences. Capitalization is correct in sentences. Organized and readable writing used when answering questions, spelling is good. Student tried to get correct answers. Maps are with paper
1-needs improvement
Student didn’t complete questions or definitions. Paper is messy and unreadable. Incorrect answers. Student wrote “I don’t know” as answer and shows no effort. Map not included with paper.
0-make up
Teacher has never seen paper. Paper doesn’t have teacher stamp.
Everyday the students have a bell ringer to answer, when they come in the room. They will turn them in together every Friday. These will be graded as one assignment.
I hope this helps everyone.
I also gave the students my curriculum paper. Please ask them about the paper.
Students received a schedule today for their parents and reminder about Open House on Tuesday. They also should have a copy of the application for SAC committee.
I hope this helps everyone!

Hi Mrs Hayden,
I noticed that almost all of the teachers on Team A & Team B have sites set up. However you are the only teacher on Team C with a site setup. Will the rest of the Team C teachers also set up sites? They are very helpful. Thank you.
Do you have an email address to ask questions specifically relating to an individual student not to be read by all?

jbwal: I have already asked the "webmaster" this same question. He said he is waiting for "approval" from the teachers to post their blogs.
