Homework is a natural extension of what your child is doing in class. Homework will vary in length and will only be assigned Monday-Thursday. There will not be any homework assigned on the weekends with the exception of an ongoing project. Below you will find the top three reasons I assign homework:
· *Delayed retention of a skill or concept (especially in math)
· *For students to practice responsibility and discipline
· *So parents are involved and aware of what we are learning in the classroom
*For the reasons listed above, homework will not be done during class time.
Ø Homework will be written on the board daily.
Ø It is your child’s responsibility to write down the homework each day in their planners.
Ø Not all homework assignments will be corrected 100% of the time.
Ø Daily homework will be posted on the class website.
The Planner: As part of learning daily accountability and being a responsible 4th grader students will fill out their planners daily.
*Students should bring their planners home each night and bring them back to school the following day.
