<span style="color: #d32222; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Weekly Grades: <span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">__Word Study__- Each week, take up the students' notebooks one day and give a grade based on the child's effort. If they have completed the assignment and understood the concept, they get a 95. If they are misunderstanding some things or using the words incorrectly, give a grade that reflects that. This is an easy way to get some grades that should boost most students.

<span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">__Reading__- Response Letter- Once a week, if possible, have students write a response letter to you about a book that they are reading. They can write about the concept we are learning and include a summary, connections they made, write about the characters, facts they learn, etc. Use the friendly letter format. They can start each letter with:

<span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Date

<span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Dear Mr/Mrs. Teacher,

<span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I am reading __by__ ___. This is book is (fiction/nonfiction). I know because__ _.

<span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Sincerely, <span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Student's Name

<span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">__Writing__- If possible, take a grade on the students work produced during writing for the week. You can give a completion grade based on the effort that was put out.

<span style="color: #d32222; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Performance Indicators: Can be taken as a major grade :) <span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">* Drama Graphic Organizer (Use "Owen" by Kevin Henkes if you need a good one) <span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">*Published biography or autobiography in writing (I think there is a rubric provided) <span style="color: #cf9044; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">*Poetry Notebook
