Planners: we grade planners for parent signatures and for the students daily message. Each day needs a signature. This is graded under leadership skills. This is worth 10 points a week, 2 points each day for the student's daily message and the daily signature.
Weekly:
Spelling and math homework is handed out every Monday and due Friday. Math homework is set two lessons back from current curriculum to allow students the comprehension to do homework independently.
Spelling and math homework is graded on completion to encourage a proper work ethic. Each assignment (per night) is worth 5 points which totals 20 points per week. Spelling words are posted on my website each week just in case anyone loses their spelling list. Math homework can be printed off from the ConnectEd math website under the child's login in case they lose this as well. Their logins are pasted inside their planner.
Monthly:
Reading calendars are handed out every month. Students read 20 minutes a night for at least 4 nights a week (Monday-Thursday usually works best to go along with homework time) and mark it on the calendar. Calendars are due at the end of every month. Reading Calendars are worth 100 points. If your child needs an extra copy they can ask me, hopefully before the end of the month! Reading calendars need a parent signature. 80 points for reading the full 20 minutes four days a week, every week. Each week counts as 20 points. 20 points for the one parent signature for the whole month to verify that it has been completed.
Semi-annual:
Book reports are due in October and in April. There is a link about book reports on my website. Each report is worth 50 points total. A book report involves an artifact and a short student speech about their book nd their artifact.
Fun Friday: we will have Fun Friday almost every Friday. Fun Friday allows students to have time to play problem solving games with other peers. If a child is missing work, they will use this time to complete their work in class instead of participating in Fun Friday. LATE WORK POLICY: Each assignment that is not turned in on time without an excused absence or previous notice will be docked 5 points each day that is it late. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thank you!
