Homework

Homework consists of at least 15 minutes of independent work on personalized iReady "My Path" lessons according to following schedule:

Monday - math

Tuesday - reading

Wednesday - math

Thursday - reading

Additionally, all students are required to complete a "Fluency Flight" in iReady every night from Monday through Thursday.

Students who fall short of meeting the weekly math goal of 30 minutes by Thursday morning (during a typical week of school) will make up missed time during iReady Math Learning Games during the school day on Thursday.

Students who fall short of meeting the weekly reading goal of 30 minutes by Friday morning (during a typical week of school) will make up missed time during coding and "free choice" Chromebook time during the school day on Friday.

Please note the following:

*These numbers may increase to reflect higher weekly goals in both reading and math as the year progresses.

*Adjustments will be made as necessary (and announced) to accommodate unusual circumstances based on days off from school, testing sessions, etc. Please check students' agendas.

*The weekly schedule for completion is a suggestion. It can be modified in order to accommodate busy schedules - as long as the math goal is met by Thursday and the reading goal is met by Friday.

*Fluency Flights must be completed every day. The program does not allow students to do more than one on any given day, so doubling up is not possible.

*Students looking for a challenge may play iReady Math Learning Games or work on iReady lessons for longer than the required goal (but please, not too long - over an hour is just too much screen time).

*While it's not a homework assignment for which they will be held accountable in school, students should be reading every day - either independently, with a family member, or ideally a combination of both. They should also be discussing what they read. This will encourage active reading and help students further develop good reading habits.
