Homework and Quizzes
Written homework will usually be assigned on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week. In most cases, time has been allotted in the classroom to begin the assignment. There will also be several projects and/or writing assignments throughout the year that require more time to complete.
Each student is assigned a homework assignment book which will be brought home each day. I will sign it each day and ask that you sign it at home each evening, acknowledging that you are aware of your child's homework assignment.
Reading
In addition to our daily subjects, we will have at least a fifteen to twenty minute period each day when we will have DROP EVERYTHING AND READ TIME. I encourage each student to bring with them a trade book from home. However, we do have a class library where each student can select a book. Students should be reading at home for at least 15 minutes each day, Monday through Thursday. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of reading.
