See your child's planner for daily homework. Use the planner to check-off completed tasks and help your child be responsible while also helping you know about daily assignments and what your child is learning.
Your child should read for twenty minutes each week night, and once over the weekend.
Reading Logs: quarterly reading requirements are included in the planner. Once reading level has been determined each quarter, a purple Reading Log page is stapled in the planner. This form should remain in the planner until it is turned in. See the Reading Log for all requirements each quarter.
Math is assigned daily unless there is a test in class that day - even over the weekend. Math homework should be checked by an adult, corrections should be made (parent help may be needed), and notes written to me with any concerns or problems. Math homework is not graded, so I expect parents and students to work together for mastery. (Usually there is a quiz the following day, and the quiz is graded.) ALL MATH HOMEWORK IS TO BE INITIALED/SIGNED IN THE UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER. This signature indicates to me a parent has checked the work and the student is ready for a quiz.
Monday = Stems WS or Latin Sentences
Tuesday/Wednesday = word study (dictionary skills) or spelling list practice
Thursday = 4Xs WS (students receive this worksheet on Monday, and it is due every Friday)
PARENTS AND STUDENTS NEED TO DETERMINE THE BEST WAY FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN THEIR SPELLING/LATIN EACH DAY IN ADDITION TO THE ASSIGNED HOMEWORK. Practice is not assigned daily, it is an expectation that parents and students will determine the best way for the student to learn spelling and Latin for the Friday tests.
Latin Review Weeks (Every fifth week):
Monday-Wednesday = Quizlet and Latin Flashcards
Wednesday -Thursday = Study Guides

Some evenings, or more likely, weekends, your child may come home with corrections to make. Anytime corrections are required, it is expected a parent will sit with the child for one-on-one instruction and direction. This component is also provided in the classroom, but additional one-on-one instruction is sometimes needed for students to make optimal gains. Plus, in the 2/3 classroom students work until their best learning outcome is produced... and that sometimes takes additional support and adult interaction.
