Language Arts

Students will be given five language arts tests for each lesson. These tests include spelling, phonics, grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension. All tests are comprised of multiple choice questions. For the first nine-weeks (or longer), I will be reading all tests aloud to students. Language arts tests will typically be given on Days 5 and 6.

• Spelling – Students will write each spelling word. 
• Phonics – Students must have an understanding of letters or groups of letters and the sounds they make.
• Grammar – Students will be tested on a grammar skill practiced throughout the lesson.
• Vocabulary – Students will be tested on their understanding and usage of vocabulary words. 
• Comprehension – Students will be tested on their knowledge and understanding of the main selection. *I do allow students to use their book to look back in the story if they cannot recall the answer to a comprehension question. 

Math

Students will be tested on each topic. Additional grades may be taken on classwork and addition/subtraction fluency practice pages.
