How+We+Grade



During this school year your child will come home with graded work that will be assigned a 4, 3, 2, or 1. This is what those numbers mean: **4** means that the assignment exceeds grade level expectations and that the student went above and beyond what would be expected of a 2nd grader.

**3** means that the assignment meets grade level expectations and that the student followed all directions and did quality work.

**2** means that the assignment almost meets grade level expectations, but may be missing something. In most cases a 2 is given when a student forgot their last name or date, has words that are spelled incorrectly that have already been taught, or has turned in sloppy work.

**1** means that the assignment is significantly below grade level expectations. If a student receives a 1 on an assignment, I will discuss this with them and in some cases I will ask the student to redo the assignment.
