[Danhi] WANTED: Kindergarten graders for Math Stars

[Erica Watkins]

Hello all,

To answer your questions, Dave.  Yes, the parent volunteer handles only their child's class.  The sheets that are turned in by students are transferred (by other volunteers) to the Math Stars crate next to the cafeteria.  Graders pick up the sheets in their class's folder there, once a week or so, and place the stars on the display at that time.  The grader then takes the sheets home to correct them, and afterwards returns them to the teacher's mailbox in the office.  Students attempt as much of the sheet as they wish, and the grader corrects their answers as needed.  (No new sheet is completed if there are errors).  Oh, and it is just five sheets per semester.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!

Erica

	* Would the parent volunteer handle just their child's single class?
	* What would "collecting" involve?  Could there just be a place in the classroom where the worksheets pileup throughout the week that the parent volunteer could then find?
	* If a worksheet has an error, is it returned to the student with a new one to do over?
I think I'd like to volunteer.

Math Stars is about to begin for students at the kindergarten level.  Math Stars is an optional math worksheet for students to complete at home with a parent and hand back in.  Once the worksheets are handed back in, a parent volunteer collects them, grades them, puts a star on the Math Stars chart for the students that complete the worksheet, and turns the graded worksheets back to the teacher to be sent home.  Math Stars worksheets come home 5-10 times a semester, so the time commitment is not all that large.  And yes, you are provided an answer key!
