MS. DOBSON'S HOMEWORK POLICY
PARENTS FYI:
Generally I will not assign homework for Language Arts or Social Studies. I have many reasons for this, but primarily it is because I value family time and want my students to connect with their family, friends and get outside to be physically active. My motto is "work hard, play hard." If students work hard in class, they should have enough time to complete their work in class. This allows me to see each students own work and conference with them. In the event that a student doesn't complete their work, it will be assigned for homework. With this being said, READING SHOULD BE COMPLETED DAILY! Each night, I would like students to spend 5-20 minutes reading for the love of it. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to contact me.
