Daily/weekly/quarterly homework details:
IXL Code: Students will find their weekly code on Canvas under "Modules">"Links"> "Weekly IXL Codes due Fridays". They must reach a "Smart Score" of 80 to receive full credit for the week. This assignment will be due every Thursday night by 11:59 P.M.
Reading: Students should read for at least 15 minutes daily at home.
Vocabulary: Students should review their vocabulary words a few times a week and ahead of any quizzes. Vocabulary words can be found in their notebooks and are also linked on Canvas under "Modules">"Vocabulary".
Newsela: Students are responsible for reading a Newsela article and passing the quiz each week. (This assignment is due by 11:59 P.M. every Thursday night. Because they have 7 days to complete this assignment, no late work will be accepted.)
Students are allowed 3 attempts and must select a different article to read for each attempt. Students should adjust the Lexile Level to match the recommendation they received from the teacher.
ReadNQuiz: Students are responsible for reaching a goal number of points each quarter. This counts as a major grade and will factor into their gradebook 3 times.
The 2nd Quarter goal is 8 points and must be reached by January 9. The required number of points will increase each quarter.
Students will read books of their choice and then take a quiz or complete a written worksheet about the book to earn points. (Quizzes can only be taken at school.)
Shorter, simpler books have lower point values, while longer and more complex books have higher values. No matter which a student prefers, they can reach their point goal by reading consistently and completing the books they choose.
