Fantasy and Science Fiction Projects Due April 11th

Fantasy Rubric
Science Fiction Rubric




















Please click on the links below the pictures to view and print the rubrics.  Students can do either project with their book.  They just need to follow the rubric for that project.  So, a student who is reading a fantasy genre can still do the project for the science fiction genre if they choose and vice versa.  I have plenty of rubrics printed and ready to go in my classroom.  Any project turned in without a rubric will not be graded until a rubric is turned in.  This project will be done 100% AT HOME this time.  I know this is a bit of a change, but the kids have done enough projects with me to know what my expectations are, and will do a great job on their own at home.  Please let me know if you have any questions!

Education Galaxy Help Videos

 

Education Galaxy Due by Spring Break



Hi Everyone,

One thing I attribute to my children doing so well on STAAR last year is our work on www.EducationGalaxy.com.  I have tasked the children this year with the same assignments.  They have until the end of Spring Break to complete all 19 topics of Education Galaxy.  We have been working on this when they finish assignments in class. They will also have time during DICE time and during my class to work on it.  They may have to work on it at home if they are not able to get it done at school. All of the 19 grades will go in the gradebook in Reading or Language Arts.  Students can take the topics as many times as they want to get the score they want.  I will take "Last Session Score" as their grade.  The day before we start Spring Break, I will have them pull up their accounts and show me the scores they have.  I will put what they have done in the gradebook then.   Their login for www.educationgalaxy.com is their lunch number.  Their password is the same number. Please let me know if you have any questions.


Thanks,
Amber Sparks
