Individual Grade Tracking Sheet
Over time I have found that traditional gradebook methods are really more work than they are worth! Being a pull out program teaching K-5 students, I needed something to grade that was much more flexible.
This product is meant to keep a single students assignment grades all in one place! If you have a program, like mine, where many of your students work on different assignments this is a different way of keep data to make your life easier.
I hope you enjoy this and it works well for you!

Nonverbal and Verbal Brilliance Checklists -- Where Do You Lean?
We teachers tend to be a pretty verbal bunch. One of the reasons we went into teaching, quite possibly, is that we had a positive school experience. If that’s the case, we likely “fit” in a school system that can be up to 80% focused on language in the elementary school years. That does not mean, however, that we are also nonverbal by nature. Verbal and nonverbal brilliance are not mutually exclusive. As I often tell teachers in trainings about nonverbal brilliance, nonverbal does not mean not v
