Students in my class are assigned from 40 minutes to an hour of homework on each week night. Routine homework is not assigned on the weekends, but special projects may require weekend work time in order to meet deadlines.
* Math homework is usually in the Home Links book, but is occasionally in the Math Journal. Students should not tear homework
pages out of the Home Links.
* They are expected to read 20 to 30 minutes each night and will have an additional written reading assignment once or twice a week.
* Each week, students are given 5 to 10 vocabulary words from the "read aloud" books and/or math, science, social studies curriculum. They must find and write the definitions for these words in their Vocabulary spirals by Thursday of each week. They will have opportunities in class to complete these definitions, but may have to finish them for homework. They will be given a test on these words on Friday and should study the list and definitions during the week.
