Homework Explained:
Reading and Writing Homework:
Read 25-30 pages a day minimum of their independent book, log pages and minutes, and jot (This will be taught prior to assigning. If students have an opportunity to meet 25 pages in school, then they should still read a little more at home and make sure they have jots. The goal is to finish a 150-200+ book every two weeks.)
Writing about reading (goes in their reader's notebook, post-it-notes, or on sheets provided) and adding to their SC/TD goes in their writer's notebook (This will also be modeled prior to assigning.) Students get class time to work on these but should also spend time doing this at home to finish for Friday's sc#-share.
*Practicing spelling/vocabulary/word study ( Word Study-Back of the Reader's Notebook). They should do three practices a week. A menu will be in their notebook to have a choice of practices, but their first set of spelling words requires practices that are assigned and not by choice. This will start at the end of September and it is biweekly.
Social Studies is usually completed during class as classwork; there will be times be some chapter/vocabulary review and an occasional project becomes homework.
*Enrichment: encouraging the practice of cursive, daily reading/writing/spelling skills, independent passion-projects, i-ready, review and finish up writing, reading, and social studies
