What is the homework policy for fifth grade?
Your child will have an ongoing homework assignments every night, including weekends. This assignment is reading for at least 20-30 minutes each day. The reading can be done by just your child, you may read to your child or it can be a combination of the two. This does not include assigned reading. There will also be a weekly assignment in spelling. The class will be assigned a new spelling lesson and a word list the first day of each new school week. The lesson will be due the end of each week at which time there will also be a test on the words for the week. This will begin the first full week of school. All other homework will be assigned daily. Students are responsible for writing down their assignments each day. During the first month of school, we will initial their assignment books daily to make sure they haven’t forgotten to write anything down.
