I give a weekly
progress report on Wednesdays. This year, they will be
stapled to the inside of your child’s planner. They should be
signed by you and returned to me on Thursday. If your child
misses two weeks in a row of progress reports, he/she will get
a check. If an assignment is missing, it averages as a zero
and should be made up as soon as possible.
My grading scale is 34% for tests and projects and 66% for
daily grades. I do not give extra credit or drop the lowest
grade.
My e-mail address is
LeeFesmireHudson@yahoo.com I don’t
make a lot of phone calls after school about behavior or
homework. Instead, I’ll communicate with you through your
child’s planner. Please check it every day. There are three
things your child needs to do to make an A in my class:
do all their work, listen, and study.
In English class, we learn
about the grammar, usage, and mechanics of our language. In
writing class, we put that knowledge to use. Sixth graders
write memoirs and poetry. Seventh graders write fiction.
Eighth graders write opinions, tributes, and reviews.
I will have workbooks available for you to use at home if
you would like one to supplement our English book.
