What you will see..
When I take a formative grade on an assignment I use points. Each response your child makes will be a point. When reviewing their work I will circle the number or area where your child needs to look at the problem again. The total correct will be listed at the top of the paper over the total points for that formative assignment. If the feedback on your child's paper is a star or smily face, this was not recorded in the Gradebook, but was practice of the skill.
Summative tests will show a percentage.
I will also accept REDO's of formative work only. I want to reward the student for correcting their work at home. If you and your child correct work, have them bring it to me marked "corrected" and I will adjust their score.
As partners in your childs learning, I feel it is important to give them feedback on their learning. Grades are just one way to give your child feed back on how they are doing.
