When a student misses school the parents become the teachers and are responsible to teach them the things they miss, and need to make sure students complete missing work.
Corrected work is sent home on Fridays. Please follow the directions on the envelope.
Projects and assignments must be turned in on or before the due date, otherwise it is marked late.
Math is always due the next day, unless noted otherwise.
Only math assignments and vocabulary can be redone for a better grade. Check calendar for last day to redo math and vocabulary.
Parents are welcome to check student work, but ...
-with math...it is best to have them rework with problem if you notice a mistake, but do not tell them the answer. Students may redo math assignments, but not quizzes and tests. The due date for redos will be posted on the my website. If students want to redo a math assignment, they need to use the original paper and erase their incorrect answers and write new ones. I will look at the problems that were marked wrong and recorrect those.
-with spelling/language packets...the night before they are due, students can have parents check them. Circle errors, but you don't always need to give them the correct answer. These are not weekly packets, but due dates are based how many pages are in the packet. The due dates are listed on my website every week. Spelling Packets cannot be redone. If your student is absent the day it is due, please bring it to the school to be corrected with the rest of the packets on the same day, otherwise it will be marked late since they are given more than a week to complete the packet. If the student knows they will be absent, it is their responsibility to turn it in before the due date, otherwise it is marked late.
-with fluency...check them, give suggestions when needed, or reminders, but don't just give them the answers. Fluency is practiced everyday, but only timed on the first night of the week and the night before it is turned in. Times are recorded under Student Signature and Parent Signature.
Having students figure out their mistakes is a great learning tool.
