In the grade book, as well as on the report cards, you will see a summative determination on how this student practiced these values in social studies this semester. Students started an evidence log at the beginning of the semester. At the end of the third quarter, via email, the student and I came up with a formative evaluation, which was put in the grade book. At the end of the 4th quarter, using the same email trail, we came up with a summative evaluation. That is, I was able to do it for students who turned in their evaluation via emails on time. If parents or students would like to understand the thought process behind these evaluation, they should first go to the email trail. If it is missing, then I used my best judgement, based upon what I observed in the classroom, as well as what was in the grade book.
Have a restful summer. It is a good idea to keep your reading skills fresh by having an interesting book to read a little every day. The 40 book challenge is coming up in 7th grade.
