Homework
Your child should have their assignments written down daily in their planner. A student or myself will check each students' planner before they leave each day and initial or stamp the bottom. In order to ensure that students have all of their homework finished and in their folder upon returning to school the following day, I ask that you also sign their planner. This will let me know that you have looked over their homework. As the year progresses I may only spot check planners. This is to help prepare students for sixth grade. When students go to Mayo they will be responsible for writing down their assignments on their own. Thanks for your help!
All students are expected to read from their AR books for a minimum of 20 minutes each evening. AR points make up 10% of the students Reading grade. In order to earn all the points they will need, students will have to do some of their reading at home. Fifth graders are expected to earn at least 15 points per quarter. Students are encouraged to earn 75 points for the year to participate in the end of the year pizza party.
If students need assistance with homework please encourage them to ask for help or let me know. I am more than willing to help if I am asked. I am available before school, during recess/lunch, or after school. We have morning study halls available from 8:00- 8:20 or the library is open for those that need to get an AR book. If students use their time wisely in class and work during class, then they should not have a tremendous about of homework.
