Please review Homework guidelines on page 9 in the Handbook. Generally
written homework should take between 30 and 45 minutes. Regular review/study
of material is beneficial to everyone. When time is given in class, students
should USE it to work on assignments.
1. LANGUAGE ARTS -
- Study SPELLING Words or homework assignment.
Study the week’s words that are assigned on Monday. Parents, please give
your child a pretest on Wednesday night, grade it (or have your child check
it), sign it, and have your child return it to school on Thursday. Final
tests are given in class on Friday with some dictation.
- READING homework assignment and/or Pleasure Reading
Complete the “Read Aloud” weekly homework assignment, given on Monday and due
by Friday. Encourage your child to read daily, silently or orally. Your
child is expected to read Accelerated Reader books (besides what we read as a
whole class) and take tests on the book/s each trimester. The goals should
be for your child to read books in his/her “level” and maintain an average of
80% or above on the tests taken on books he/she read during the current
trimester. Tests should be taken soon after he/she finishes reading a book.
Your child is to have a book to read in class daily.
- VOCABULARY assignment – usually review/study the words
Vocabulary tests will be every 2 weeks. Your child has a Wordly Wise
workbook that we will use throughout the year. Vocabulary lists will also
come from books that we read as a whole class.
- ENGLISH homework assignment
Complete the English homework assignment, if there is one.
2. SOCIAL STUDIES
Do the homework assigned, whether it is short or long term.
It is your child’s responsibility to write down ALL homework assignments
EACH day in his/her Assignment Book/Planner before leaving school. The first
week or so, I try to make sure your child sets up his/her Planner correctly.
During this time please initial the bottom of the Planner EACH night if the
work has been done. After that, I will spot check Planners. All homework
assignments are an important part of your child’s education. Homework will
be considered late if not finished and turned in at the beginning of class
the day it is due. If the assignment is brought in after it was already
asked for, it will still be considered late. Each completed homework
assignment is worth 5 points. Late assignments receive fewer points. It is
important for your child to be independent and responsible for
himself/herself. Please encourage this at home, too. One way to do this is
to have your child put her/his things in the backpack for school. If
something is left at home, your child is responsible to bring it to school,
NOT YOU! Having your child “check off” each item may be helpful. If
there is ever a problem with homework, please let me know so I can help solve
the issue with your child and you.
