                                                                       REMINDERS

Please send in a photocopy of your child's Baptismal certificate as soon as possible.

Gym is on Thursday.

***Party invitations should not be sent through school.  I will be glad to provide a class list of names and addresses upon request.
 

GRADING - Your child's work will be graded with a rubric using the numbers 1-5.

Occasionally you will see some letters on your child's paper.  The following list should help you understand them.  If you have any questions please let me know.

I-  Work was done independently and is usually graded 1-5.

DT-Work was done together lead by the teacher so if your child was following the lesson the answers should be correct.  This is a good indicator as to whether your child is paying attention and staying on task.

CT- This notation means that the work was corrected together by your child in class.  If incorrect answers were not marked wrong 
child was probably not paying attention.

X-  A big X drawn through a workbook page means that this page was not assigned and your child was only responsible for the other side of the paper.

*  A  red asterisk is used to draw your child's attention to directions or indicates that I have discussed the work with your child.
