You can
expect homework each night Monday through Thursday. Homework
needs to be completed before school begins. All homework is
either collected or checked in the morning. Each homework
assignment is worth 3 points – Neat, Complete and On-Time.
If
homework is not completed, the student will come in at recess to
finish it and then go immediately outside upon completion. The
student then receives 2 points for the assignment. If a homework
assignment is never turned in it receives a 0. If homework is
forgotten but completed, the student may bring it in the next
day for 2 points.
Homework
Schedule for the School Year
I try to
keep the homework structured throughout the year to help 4th
graders learn how to become more organized in order to
transition to 5th grade by the end of the school
year. Consistency and structure provide a good basis for
keeping organized and on top of school assignments at home and
at school.

The homework usually follows this pattern throughout the year
unless we are at the end of a theme in reading and grammar where
the homework may change slightly due to the nature of testing.
The same holds true for Math where I may assign them to study or
practice math facts at the end of a unit.
The amount of homework in Social Studies, Science and Health is
minimal throughout the year because we do the majority of the
work in school with hands on projects and experiments. There
may be some projects that require a short journal entry to keep
track of or keep a log sometime throughout the year but again it
is minimal.
