My homework policy ...

Each Monday, students will be given a homework packet, which is due on Friday morning.  In it students will find a reading page with comprehension questions and the Spelling words along with the Vocabulary of the week.

The packet will also always contain a spelling contract.  The spelling contract will vary from week to week, as to what is expected, but the students have the opportunity to earn a Spelling grade for the week on homework. 

Spelling may contain:

  • Stairstep the spelling words:
    for the word chair the student would write:  c     ch    cha    chai    chair
  • Alphabetize the words
  • A crossword puzzle
  • A word search
  • Study with a parent
  • Various other activities

Usually on Monday through Thursday nights students will be given math homework, which is due the following day.

Periodically students will be assigned studying for a science or social studies test.

 

If a student is absent, the weekly homework is on my voicemail.  665-8190 extension 3806
