Homework in 5-19
It is important that students learn to use their classtime properly to finish their work. I will allow enough time for assignments to be completed, however, if your child is not done in the allotted time, it will be assigned as homework. Thursday's are our "catch up" night, so any work that was not finished at school during the week will be assigned for homework and is due on Friday morning. Any assignments that need to be completed on catch-up night should be written in their planner, and students should clearly understand what is expected of them since adequate classtime was already given.
I do not believe in assigning a lot of homework for my students as I think students benefit greatly from spending time with their family and participating in extra-curricular activities. However, I feel it is important for students to spend some time reading on their own or with a family member each day of the week. I hope that your family can regularly fit some time in for reading so your child sees how important it is. Students should also expect to review their weekly spelling words prior to their test.
*If there is a special circumstance I should be aware of, please write me a note or email me so I know why the homework is incomplete.
