Here we are in January of 2020... unbelievable. So much has changed since I began teaching in 1990. One thing that has not changed though is the need for students to read daily, be responsible, and practice time management.
4th grade homework:
Students receive a homework sheet on Monday for math and sentence practice that is due on Fridays.
Lexia packets can be worked on at home either by timing the work for a certain amount of time or doing a page or two. These do not need to be done every night. Reading for 20-30 minutes. Students received a "bookmark" that needs to be completed as they read the book or after they are done. We spent a lot of time today discussing how you know if you need to do it while you read or if you can handle it at the end. *** Encourage your child to fill a little out every couple of days or so and I will do the same while I take Status of the Class.

There those who are for homework and those who are against it. Homework is not to be a frustrating experience as the work we do send home or ask them to do is at the students' independent level. However, if frustration does occur, reach out to the 4/5 team and let us know how we can help.
