Homework
We will give all homework assignments for the week on Friday in our weekly newsletter, and it must be turned in the next Friday. As always, the purpose of homework is to reinforce the skills taught in class. Students who consistently don’t complete homework have trouble keeping up in class.
Please note that the student is not graded on accuracy, but whether or not HW is completed. In addition, we encourage students to read 20 minutes each night. We also encourage each child to practice their multiplication facts daily!Knowing basic facts are crucial in order to master all other math skills.
Signed Folders
We will send graded paper folders home every Thursday.Pease sign the sheet and keep the graded papers.
