• Homework will be assigned every night, except on Fridays and special occasions.  Homework assignments are expected to be neat and represent the student's  best effort.  Here's what to expect:
     
    Reading: Students should read for a minimum of 30 minutes a night in their "just-right" books.  Reading should be logged nightly. These texts should return to school daily,  so they may continue reading during the independent reading block.  Reading logs should be returned with a parent signature, on Monday morning.  This allows for "catch up time" if Friday night is busy! 
     
      *It's important to read EVERY night to make reading progress and to build our stamina.
     
    Writing:  Most writing is done in school. If a student misses class, they may be asked to catch up on their classwork. 
     
    Word Study: Typically, students come home with a personalized spelling list on Monday.  Their list contains 10 words from their word sort, 3 non-negotiable words and 2 core words. They are tested on their list on Fridays. The word study list can be found on the back of their reading log. We have a notebook of spelling assessments in school. We will not assign a spelling list when there is a shortened week. 
     
    Math: Typically, Mrs. Gribbon assigns work to reinforce the day's lesson.  Students will be given study guides in advance for quizzes and tests. 
     
    Social Studies/Science: Usually, students do not have Social Studies and Science homework, unless they are preparing for an activity or completing a project. If a student misses class, they may be asked to catch up on their classwork. 
     
    Classroom resources and assignments will be posted to each content area's Google classroom.
