Homework Expectations
Written homework
will be assigned on most nights.
Homework is
usually NOT assigned on weekends unless there is a special project or there is
work that a student has not completed in the allotted time in class.
Assigned homework
ALWAYS reinforces something we are currently working on or something we’ve
already covered.
Homework will
usually consist of math and/or spelling.
Math Homework: A yellow-colored page that practices the
same skills of the lesson that was taught in class on that day. Students are directed to bring their “Problem
Set” pages (white-colored) home each day to use as a model/guideline to help
with completing homework. The yellow-colored homework page should be completed
and returned to school the following day.
Spelling
Homework: Each week students
will be assigned 15 spelling words. These spelling words will be introduced to
the class at the start of the week. Students will also be given a new (yellow) Spelling Packet to record the new word
list on the front page. The Spelling Packet should be brought home the same day
and will need to be completed and returned to school on Friday of the same
week. The assignment is to choose and complete ANY 3 of the 4 spelling practice pages. Students are allowed and may choose to turn
in the Spelling Packet homework sooner if they would like.
Tecumseh Student Planner
Each student is
expected to record what the assignment is in his or her planner. This is a
daily routine and is always done together as a class.
The planner should
be brought home each night and returned to school the next day. The planner
does NOT require a signature from a parent.
The planner is
also used to record other important information such as tests, quizzes, or
other due dates and reminders.
