About Homework
For reading homework, we would like students to build a positive relationship with books. To help build a LOVE OF READING!
We want students to read every night.
Here are the Details!
Students will have a TRACKER sheet for the month.
On the tracker, students will color the date according to HOW they read (please follow the key provided on the homework sheet).

This calendar will be checked weekly. On the back of the calendar will be a place for students and parents to reflect as well as receive teacher feedback.
Homework will be graded on a completion scale. It will be scored out of 5 points. (1 point= usage of calendar and 1 point for each week the work is successfully checked.)
