homework
Students will have homework
Monday thru Thursday each week. I do not give homework on
Friday's or through the weekend. Each child is expected to read each
night. Please allow him/her to spend one half of the nightly
reading time reading aloud to you. He/She may also have
nightly assignments in Spelling (Language Arts),Math, Social Studies,
and Science.
I try to limit evening homework time to no more than 50 minutes per night.
However, during "snow days season" I reserve the right to
administer homework on otherwise 'non-homework' days :) Thanks for
understanding!
Nightly homework
assignments can be found at my
School
Notes Page
It's easier for me to update the above page each
evening.
HOMEWORKOPOLY
Students that complete their
homework assignments each night will get
a chance to play
Homeworkopoly. When a student brings in all homework from the night
before,he/she
will have a chance to go over to the board, roll the die and
move. Each student will do this in the morning
when their homework is handed in. In order to play, homework
assignments MUST be neat and complete!!!
Reading Calendars
(thanks to Ms.
Renz for this idea)
I'm beginning a new reading log system this year. My students will be
reading a novel
from a variety of genres each month. At the end of the month he/she
will have a reading
project due. Each child will be completing the same type of project (of
my choice) each month.
I will include specific instructions with the monthly calendars. Please
check the table
below for genres and projects. You can also download new reading
calendars (you will need
MS Word installed on your computer system). I will check reading
progress at the end
of each week. Each day is worth 25 pts. Each student has the
opportunity to achieve an
"easy 100" in the grading book every week.
