Math Homework for Trimester 1 & 2

(Monday-Thursday)

UPDATE: The video below, mentions Weekly Reports. Now that we are using Aeries, you can log on at any time to view your child's homework grades. I try to update it daily, but things get busy. They are usually updated by Friday. 



 * We usually skip the multiples of 5s (lessons, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc.) in Excel Math because they are tests. 


As I'm sure you can imagine our classroom is a busy place with lots of distractions, so I do occasionally make mistakes. I double-check with the kids, but sometimes they make mistakes as well. If you feel like there is a mistake, let me know within two weeks that the assignment was due, and I will recheck to see if they turned it in. Late work is accepted until the end of the trimester, but please know that the main purposes of homework are to practice what we are learning and to work on building responsibility. 

If your child lost their homework, please have them make a list of their missing assignments (you can view this on Aeries) so they can go through the homework box to get what they need. Homework is about building responsibility, so I believe students need to be the ones to make it up. It should not make more work for the adults in their lives. 😀

Homework for Trimester 3

(Monday-Thursday)

This trimester we will be doing a spiral review to prepare for testing. It is shorter and contains both ELA & math. We do the front side in class, and the students do the back side for homework. Since these are packets, no extra copies are available. 



 * I strongly recommend doing the homework this trimester to help prepare for the first year of state testing. This can be a stressful time for all, but it takes a lot of pressure off if the students know that they are prepared.
