Homework+Policy

Homework: HOMEWORK POLICY Homework will be sent home every Monday afternoon. It is due back that same Friday. On the cover is a schedule for the week ,the spelling focus, reading focus and a brief description for the other work in the packet. Homework will usually consist of spelling practice related to the week’s spelling pattern, writing skills, and reading comprehension. There is also a reading log that must be completed every night. Students are expected to read every night for at least fifteen minutes. They may choose to read more one night than another and that is fine. We are trying to teach them time management, so if they are too busy one night they can chunk the reading time together the next night. We will be expecting ONE signature from you for the week. Please monitor your child just to make sure they have been reading 4 nights but only one signature for the week is now expected.

 Math pages will be sent home everyday and due the following day. We will be going over them in class and returning them most always that same day. Please make sure you check with your child to make sure they have their math page. This is a new, large responsibility everyday and we want to make sure they are on top of it!  Homework is the student’s responsibility to turn in. If the work is not completed or forgotten on any day, they will get a late slip to be signed by a parent. It is then expected to be returned the next day with the late slip attached. Every two missing assignments earns them a refocus sheet. Every 3 refocus sheets they get for missing homework will be a major referral to Ms. Kirk. If there is an issue with understanding of the assignment, and the parent is unable to help, students are expected to come to me for clarification. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. We are trying to hold children accountable for their own classwork and homework.
