Teachers provide time for students to write in their assignments during class daily. It is students’ responsibility to correctly write the assignments in their agenda. Students will be provided with a digital agenda in order to facilitate homework by directly hyperlinking it to the date and subject.
Please check Skyward weekly to review grades and check for messages.
English Language Arts Homework:
Read for 20 minutes, at least 5 days a week. This can include your book discussion work from class, if you need to finish it at home. * You have at least 15 minutes of class time daily to start your book discussion work; it is your responsibility to be prepared for discussion the next time you meet with your group (we typically meet with groups daily).
*IF all of your book discussion work is complete, you may work on your monthly Study Island Reading assignment and have it count as your 20 minutes of reading.
If you would like a graded assignment sent home for review, please contact your ELA teacher. Otherwise, work will be saved for reflections and goal-setting throughout the year.

Study Island Google Classroom (many assignments and resources are located here!)
Study Island assignments: At the beginning of each month you will be assigned a new assignment, which you can see on the Study Island website. This assignment will need to be completed by the end of the month. (Class time is given to work on the assignment; approximately 2-3 questions daily will be enough time for the assignment to be finished by the end of the month.)
Guided Reading Groups: Each child has a paper calendar for their specific book. On the book discussion calendar you will find the daily assignments and when projects/assignments are due.
Word Work: New words are given every day 2. Tests are once per cycle on day 1. Please use your notes as well as Google Classroom resources to study.
