Just wanted to write a quick reminder about our usual homework routine. Always remember to check their planner to see what the homework is.
1) A new reading log goes home every Monday. It is collected the following Monday, but I check it every day in their homework folder. Students should read a minimum of 50 minutes, split up during the week. Please refrain from reading only for one or two days, because that is just not enough! They need to write a one to two sentence reflection or summary on what they read. A parent signature with the total minutes read is needed before the log is handed in. I will not have students write "do reading log," in their planner every day, as it is a routine and they know they should do it.
2) There is math homework nearly every day in their math workbooks. Do not rip out the homework page. We go over the homework together as a class. Remember to always do both sides. Help your child, but please do not just give the answer.
3) Starting next week, a spelling list will go home on Monday in their spelling notebooks. The homework is due on Friday. The notebook can be kept home until the day the homework is due. The spelling contract/homework details were sent home in the parent handbook. I will send it out again. Please let me know if you have questions or trouble regarding how to complete the spelling homework.
4) Sr. Mona, Sr. Lamia, and Sr. Zamina may assign their own homework assignments as well. They will usually be written in the blank box in their planners. These homework assignments are just as important as the regular subjects.
7) Starting Monday, a comprehension homework assignment will go out. It is due every Friday. The assignment may be an empty graphic organizer for concepts such as summarizing or sequencing a story. They should use a story they read at home for their reading log to fill in the organizer. All work should be done in complete sentences with effort and neatness. Sometimes I will send home a reading passage and questions instead of an organizer. Again, complete sentences and neatness are required.
6) You should always have your child check their homework planner, in case there is an extra assignment or page assigned.
Thank you.
