Conduct
Work Habits
The following descriptors will be used: 3 - meets expectations 2 - inconsistently meets expectations, and 1 - does not meet expectations Grading Comprehension SkillsWhen grading comprehension skills, first grade functions as a transition between the supported comprehension in kindergarten and the independent comprehension in second grade. Because of this, the way we assess comprehension changes after the first quarter.
First quarter process: Students can have a story and questions read aloud to them by the teacher. Students then complete the written response independently. Second-fourth quarter process: Students need to independently read a grade level appropriate text, the questions, and write responses independently. If they still need the support as it was given during first quarter that would be considered as a level 2 for that skill. |
