Class Expectations

Students will usually have homework each night except for Fridays.  Students need an opportunity to practice the skills that I have taught in class earlier that day.  Homework will usually be given in their math class and occasionally in other subjects as needed.   They should study their vocabulary and spelling words throughout the week.  Children in my class will have a reading and vocabulary test each Thursday.  Spelling tests will be on Friday unless there is a holiday. (In that instance these tests will be given on the day before the holiday.)

Students are expected to read at home every night.  Your child is expected to read AR books and take a computer comprehension test on their books during each week.  They should make 2.0 points or higher on these books each week.  After Thanksgiving they will be reading chapter books only, this will begin to prepare them for the middle school reading policy.
