Mrs. Standridge
Thank you for turning off your cell phones and please feel free to leave the room to take care of
a child’s needs in order for everyone to hear.
Our Vision…To prepare students for a world that has limitless possibilities,
we will develop self-aware, independent, life-long learners
who will achieve their goals through hard work and
determination.
• We follow the workshop model which contains an independent work period in all subject areas
• Increased level of independence – students will have a greater independent work time as teachers work with students in small groups, conferences , and goal setting
• Increased expectation in depth of writing in all content areas
• Greater growth in reading
Differences between K and 1
• No grades the 1st Six weeks of school• Grade on an A to F scale• We have formative and summative grades• We grade with rubrics• Some work is completed in journals or is kept for their
writing binder • Work samples and exemplars will be sent home at least
once every Six weeks• Graded work will come home in Wednesday Eagle folders• Keeping up with grades – you can sign up for grade-book
alerts when new grades are entered
