2019-2020 Homework Policy

Students will be required to work about 30 minutes to 1 hour each night at home to practice daily skills in math and reading. Students should not be spending more than about one hour on homework. Homework should be practice only. Students should not feel frustrated when getting the work done. If homework is causing a problem let me know, I will ensure that they have what they need to be successful *****If students do not understand the material they should work out the parts they do know and circle the parts that they do not know. Then they need to write down what they do not understand.***** If for some reason homework can not be completed at home please contact me so arrangements can be made.

Reading: about 20 minutes each night

Students will always have at least three AR books that they should take home. Each smaller non-chapter book should be read a minimum of three times and as many times as needed to understand the book. Longer chapter books should be read in portions each night with some parts being re-read as needed for understanding. Some assignments in reading and grammar may also be sent home.

Students will have a list of spelling activities that need to be practiced each night. Practice can also be done online using spelling city. SpellingCity.com
