Homework

Homework is passed out Monday-Thursday evenings.  It is usually due the 
following day.  Students pass in homework as they enter the classroom.  If a 
student is missing an assignment, he/she will fill out a "blue slip" 
explaining why the assignment was missing or incomplete.  This slip is to be 
signed and returned by a parent the following day.  


Each Wednesday evening, please be on the lookout for Weekly 5th Grade Math 
and Reading Review worksheets.

Math Fact Calendars:
Calendars are passed out at the beginning of each month.  Students should be 
practicing at home 10 times a month for 10 minutes at a time.  This 100 
minutes of practice outside of school will help students to feel more 
comfortable in math.  As we continuously work to build upon skills in the 
classroom, having mastered these multiplication and division facts will help 
our students succeed throughout the course of the year.  

Missing Homework:
Every time an assignment is missing or incomplete, students fill out a "blue 
slip" which is a letter home to parents explaining why the assignment was 
missing and what the student can do to prevent this from happening in the 
future.  After the student signs it, the teacher does and the note goes home 
that evening.  It is to be signed and returned the following day along with 
the missing assignment.
