Your grade will be an assessment of your ability to reach the goals set by the Common Core State Standards. During class, I will teach you how to reach those goals. Your job will be to work hard to reach the goals, and to show me that you have reached them and can apply them in different situations. I will be available during lunch, recess, and many days at 2:00 in case you need extra help in humanities or a place to work. Please remember, I am here to help. I will use tests, projects, and written assignments to determine your grade at the end of each unit.
