Homework is practice
This year students will be given specific homework depending on what they need for practice. Although we try to get as much done in the school day as we can when a student falls behind in a certain subject we (teachers and parents) need to provide them support where needed.
Homework will only be given Monday through Thursday unless a student falls behind.
Homework should only take 15- 20 minutes each day.
Set aside a quiet and well lit location. Best practice is to do homework at the same time every day (immediately after school works best for most kids).
Spelling Tests:
- Spelling lists will be given every Friday, this will give students the opportunity to look over spelling words on the weekend.
- Spelling tests will be every Friday we have a full week of school, for example if we are off on a Monday the spelling test will not be until the next full week of school.
- Minimum class time is given to study spelling words. Students should use time at home to look over their lists.
