Rationale for assigning Homework:
Homework is important because it teaches responsibility and helps students develop good study habits. In addition, homework helps to reinforce lessons that have been taught in class, and helps prepare students for upcoming lessons and tests.

Homework Expectations:
Usually, homework should not take more than 30 minutes a night. In addition to homework time, time should be set aside daily for independent reading, studying spelling, and studying math facts. Students should study spelling words, math facts, and read on a daily basis. This does not have to take a long time. Just 10 or 15 minutes a day spent reviewing spelling and math facts can significantly help your child's performance on tests.
Please encourage your child to do his/her best work. Homework should be neat. All written work should be done in pencil. Homework will not be accepted if written in pen, crayon, marker, etc.

When is Homework Assigned?
 


If I recieve a name with no name it is a ZERO!!!!


Expectations for Turning in Homework Late:
If for some reason (sickness, emergencies, etc.) a student is unable to complete homework, please write a note, and the assignment will be excused until the next day or longer if needed. However, please don't write a note asking for more time to complete homework if the reason is due to lack of materials, or because your child left their homework at school. Please remember, this will hurt your child in the long run because it sends the message that it is okay to not pay attention when we are going over homework. When students face the consequences of their actions it helps to prepare them to become more responsible, independent workers in the future. (I know this is hard. Please work with me on this.) If homework is not handed in on the day that it is due it will be a zero in the grade book.
