ROUTINE INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS
ROUTINE INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS
To help plan your homework routine, here is the general plan for each week. There will be other assignments in addition to these based on what areas we are working on in class.
MONDAY: Test on the previous week's vocabulary unit.
TUESDAY: If there is school on Tuesday, figure you have a reading log due.
Vocabulary cards or flippies are also due Tuesdays.
WEDNESDAY: Spelling lessons are due.
THURSDAY: Sentences for the vocabulary words on the affix unit sheet are due.
FRIDAY: Vocabulary units may be picked up for the next week.
The book report schedule is listed on this page. Book reports are generally due the end of each month.
Most handouts are in folders in grade level crates where students may get forms or absent work as they need them. "You didn't give it to me" is not an excuse for missing work.
LATE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS WILL ONLY RECEIVE HALF CREDIT!
I hope this helps in planning around sports, music, theater, family etc. since I believe all of those are critically important. Please email me, call me or stop by Room 7 if you have any questions, concerns, or want help with anything. My email is s.dahnert@loma.k12.ca.us.
I am thrilled with how this year has started and plan on keeping it positive and successful for us all!
