Homework
Reminders about Grades
There will be an "M" placed in the gradebook if an assignment is missing, which counts as a zero. I will change the "M" to a grade as soon as I receive the missing work. Late work only receives partial credit. Grades will be updated on Wednesdays. Remember that the school no longer gives letter grades, and a 75% or higher is passing. I do not give extra credit, but I do allow students to redo assignments to replace low grades.
Reading Log
Students are required to read a book of their choice for at least 20 minutes every week night.
They will have a reading log which they will use to record their reading every night and keep until it is full.
I will check it Friday for a weekly grade and hand it back.
Here is an extra copy in case the reading log is lost.
Other Homework Assignments
In addition to the reading log, I will assign homework that can include grammar, vocabulary, or writing assignments about two nights a week. Those assignments will be on my homework calendar (see tab) and will also be in your child's agenda. Please let me know if your child needs extra help with any of those assignments.
Papers and Projects
As papers and other projects are assigned, I will list them here, and I will add the due date along with the rubric to my homework calendar.
