HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS
Students in 5th grade will not be expected to complete weekly homework. Students will have homework activities this year that are project-based and/or directly related to what we are currently studying. At times students may be asked to take unfinished work home to complete.
The exception is that students will be reading on a regular basis. Reading regularly (i.e. 5 or more days a week for at least 30 minutes) not only will make students better readers, it will increase overall stamina in all academic areas. Here is a link to a record sheet that will help keep track of what your child is reading. They will be sharing this information daily with the class.
Parents/Guardians are the key to making homework a positive experience for their children. Thank you very much for all of your help and support.
