Table 1 had enough points at the end of the day today to surpass the standard and win a premium prize with weight to spare for a good start next week. Sixty grams of points will be required to win next week.
Some interesting answers were offered for the open-ended response homework question: tell what you know about 12. Some remarked that 12 is an odd number, that it is made up of a whole ten and two left over (great answer), that 5+5+2=12, and that it is made up of two digits. Some students gave 3 responses which filled up their box. Some only gave one and a few responses I did not accept at all as they were factually incorrect. If a student was expected to know something notable about the number 12 as mentioned in the previous examples and they were able to record it in the box perhaps following a discussion with a parent, this might be considered a "3" response. A box filled with information with multiple significant ideas might be considered a "4" response to give you an example of how assessments might be graded. Something which parents may not know, but students will is that I often give a "Chance Ticket" (chance to win a raffle prize) for the "best homework in the world!" when a homework should happen to stand out.
There is no homework tonight. I do not collect or record homework on Mondays. Make-up homework is collected along with regular homework on Tuesday-Friday.
Enjoy your weekend.
