Tests • Most weeks we will have
Reading and a Spelling Test on Friday, frequent tests in Math
• Tests are posted on the
website and on board
Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday.
Homework is posted on my website everyday Although the HW is posted on the website I do
require that the students also copy it into their planners. This organizational skill is important.
Some assignments, such as Spelling, may be assigned as independent work.
Homework is not graded as correct or incorrect but on completion.
Students should read for 20 minutes every night; please sign their planners nightly and return on the 1st school day of the new month.
