Managing Materials

I'm not sure how this would work in an elementary classroom, but it works very well in my junior high class. Each student is responsible for grading their own homework. After homework is graded, the students figure out their percentage and place it in the tray for their period. While the students are working on their homework for the day, I record their scores in a grade book before putting them in the computer. I have a folder for each period and each days homework is placed in the folder. After recording the homework, I pass back the homework from the day before. The students always get their homework back everyday. I don't have a huge pile up of papers to pass back and students can keep track of their scores, too. I also print a status report every Wednesday after school and pass the reports out to the students every Thursday. The reports shows what scores they have received and also shows what missing assignments they have.

    Janette,
    I think this would work in the upper elementary grades. I know when I was in 5th grade I was so overwhelmed by the grading thing. I always had papers to take home and grade. I think this is a great way to give students quick feedback so they know where they stand and how they're doing and make improvements if necessary.
    Good job! :)
