North Carolina Science
This year, the students and I will learn through exploring North Carolina and the world around us. We will learn the science standards through incorporating math and literacy concepts, technology, observations, hands on experiences, and field trips. The students will maintain interactive science notebooks, which will serve as a living document of their learning.
Required Materials
2 composition notebooks (August - December, January - June)
earphones
sharpened pencils
colored pencils
glue stick
scissors
Attendance
It is important that each student attends school every day. Many of our assignments will be hands on, and I would hate for the student to miss out on those experiences.
Whenever possible, weekday doctor's appointments should be arranged after 3:00 p.m.
In the event of being tardy or absent, it is the student's responsibility to get the necessary assignments that were missed. The student will receive the same amount of time to make up assignments as days missed.
Grading Policy
100 - 90 A
89 - 80 B
79 - 70 C
69 - 60 D
59 - 0 F
Assessments and final projects are registered in Powerschool as Formal grades and weigh 60% of the final grade. Classwork, homework, and participation grades are registered as Informal and weigh 40% of the final grade.
Late assignments receive half credit of the full grade. Students can retake any assessment on which they received less than 70%. The higher grade will be averaged with the first grade.
Let's have a great year of learning!!!
