HOMEWORK:
I generally do not assign much homework. Although your child may have some homework to complete, he/she will have ample time to complete most tasks during the instructional day. I believe that if a student works diligently on his/her academic tasks during the day, evenings and weekends should be spent with family and friends or pursuing hobbies and interests. Nevertheless, you will be notified if there is a consistent problem with work completion. Daily independent reading will be incorporated into our language program.
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION:
Throughout the year, students will be evaluated using a variety of assessment tools (anecdotal notes, quizzes, tests, assignments, and self-evaluation sheets). All work that is assessed for reporting must be completed at school and will not be coming home for completion or editing. It is to be expected that all assessed assignments are signed by parents returned to class where they will be kept on file.
