Homework

Expect that your child will have a page of math and a page of language arts homework every night, Monday through Thursday. These homework pages are due the following day. Students are also expected to read for twenty minutes each night and record it on their reading log. Reading logs will be checked each day. 
From time to time, special projects will be also assigned.  Students should also practice math facts every night.

Please encourage your child to complete the homework neatly and to the best of their ability.
