T3 Grade Distribution - SS8

The end of the year project, that had a built in extra credit option, as well as most students doing exceedingly well on the the student created tests for each group project (students had to take three of these tests), gave students an opportunity to do very well this trimester.

Here is the grade breakdown for the Third Trimester - 24 students
A - 11
B - 8
C - 2
D - 1
F - 2

Students demonstrating their learning through a variety of differentiated, and self selected assignments that combined demonstrated their abilities and mastery of the standards for this project. Students managed and tracked each other's progress.  Mr. R tracked and counseled students that fell behind. Students were given a print out page of their Powerschool breakdown on the last full work week in class, the week before the picnic week, to make sure that students were dually notified of late or missing assignments that needed immediate attention.

I hope you all have a great summer, and enjoy your entry into high school!
