3rd, 4th, and 5th Graders receive a grade of E, S, N, or U on their report cards.
Since I see students on a 7-day rotation, I don't give homework or tests. This means I must assign them a grade based on what I am able to observe in the classroom during our time together. If a student is paying attention and participating in what we are doing, they will usually receive an 'E' from me. I try to make Spanish fun and interactive so that there are plenty of opportunities to practice the target language structures. This is accomplished through a variety of activities, games, songs and stories. To see what your student has been learning and how they are being taught, please go to my page What is my child learning? and click on your child's grade level.
If your child is not receiving an 'E', it is probably due to one of the following reasons:
I am always happy to answer questions regarding your child's Spanish grade. We can do so via email at [email protected], over the phone, or you can set up a conference with me. Check out the rubric below for further clarification of how grades are determined.
- E = Excellent
- S = Satisfactory
- N = Needs Improvement
- U = Unsatisfactory

If your child is not receiving an 'E', it is probably due to one of the following reasons:
- They aren't participating in what we are doing. (ie. We are all singing a song, but they are not.)
- They aren't looking at what we are doing. (ie. We are describing a picture and they are playing with their shoelaces.)
- When I call on them, they have no idea what the question was.
- They never raise their hand to answer a question.
- When called on, they say the wrong answer which we just spent a lot of time talking about and practicing.
