Classroom Expectations
Students will be told what is expected of their work at the beginning of their project presentation. Students are always encouraged to ask questions and take initiative in their learning to ensure that they receive the best possible grade they can. When their project is completed, the students will turn it in and will be graded using a rubric. Once they have been graded, their score will be recorded and be entered onto the PowerSchool online portal.
Extra credit will be offered to students in grades 5 through 8. The students will be allowed to complete one extra credit assignment per trimester. The list of extra credit possibilities will be listed in the classroom. It will be the students’ responsibility to seek, complete, and turn in the extra credit assignment. Extra credit assignments will not be accepted after the end of the trimester. Students will also receive a citizenship grade, which is part of their overall final grade. This involves students’ responsibility in regard to materials and cleanup, consistent effort on each project, edifying the classroom environment, and participating in classroom critiques and discussions. Students may receive homework related to specific projects. Due to our limited time together and amount of time in between classes, homework is not only helpful in retaining concepts and reinforcing deeper understanding, but is also given in manageable amounts with more than enough time to complete it. Students will not be expected to complete art projects at home due to issues with materials. Please come back to this page for photos and updates about junior high! |
