Welcome to Fourth Grade: Editing our responses to literature for Dear Mr. Henshaw

HOMEWORK

Students need to read for 30 minutes each night, including weekends, and keep track of what they are reading in their school agendas. Students will take AR (Accelerated Reader) tests during our silent reading time at school on these books. Their participation in the AR program will count as a grade for Reading.

Homework is given every Monday-Thursday and occasionally on Friday. The homework usually consists of a Spelling and Math workbook assignment to help reinforce what was taught earlier in the school day. Additional assignments may also be assigned from Reading, Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, or Religion.

We will have weekly Spelling and Reading tests on Fridays. For all other subjects, I let students know at least a week in advance when there will be a test. At times, there may be pop quizzes. Students are allowed to take home their textbooks at any time to review or study as long as they are brought back the following school day.

The students write down all homework assignments and upcoming tests in their agendas. Agendas are to be signed nightly by a parent or guardian.
