Dear 5th grade Parent s and Students,

 

Homework is a very important part of each student's school experience and school success. There are four main types of homework: personal reading, spelling assignments, math assignments and assignments in specific areas of study. In order to be successful in doing the 5th grade homework, we have certain requests>

 

All homework needs to be:

• Completed to the best of the student's ability
• Written neatly and legibly including name and date.
• Turned in on time

We will be providing daily homework assignments. Homework assignments will be recorded during class in the student's homework agenda. Students will use their homework folders to bring to and from school.

Homework is a time to reinforce skills that the students have learned in school. Homework buddies have been given to aid your student in clarifying directions. If your child has done his/her best but could not complete the assignment, have them draw a line where they have stopped working, record the time spent on the assignment and then receive a parent signature on the line.

In 5th grade, we are emphasizing independence, time management and responsibility. Therefore, students who fail to bring in homework will be expected to obtain a parent's signature on a homework alert notice. In addition, students failing to turn in homework will be required to spend 15 minutes out of 30 (of breaktime), completing the assignment.

We appreciate your support and we look forward to meeting you at the upcoming class meeting.

Sincerely,

Ms. Curria, Mr. Litman and Ms. Muir
