Systems+44

Welcome to Mr. Fonnesbeck’s Systems 44 class. My goal is for every student to improve their reading and writing ability from the day they enter my class until the day they leave it. The class uses the Systems 44 content and materials produced by the Scholastic Reading Company.
 * __ Systems 44 __**

This class is a collaboration of group work, independent work, and guided practice with a computer as a coach. Each student will have a chance to work in the Independent Reading, Small Group, and Guided Reading sections on a daily basis. Hard work and effort are required for this class to improve reading and writing abilities. The class will be graded as explained below:


 * Assessments/Quizzes**: Assessments and quizzes will account for **90 %** of each student’s grade in the class. At the end of each workshop, students will take a quiz on the skills they worked on during the workshop. There will be 2-3 assessments throughout the year.


 * Projects**: This category will be account for **10%** of each student’s grade. We will have 4-5 projects to complete throughout the year.


 * Participation and on task**: The class is designed to help students who work hard. Students who continue to work hard daily will see growth in their reading abilities and will help their grades based on their efforts.

Thank you for all who participate and support this class,

Mr. Karl Fonnesbeck
