DAILY HOMEWORK
Homework is meant to reinfoce lessons taught in school and also to
encourage responsibility. Students will typically be given a math and
a spelling assignment that are due back the following school day unless
otherwise specified. Students may also have journal homework throughout
the year, in which case they will be given a calendar of all prompts for the month.
Sight words, spelling words, reading skills, and basic math facts should also be
practiced daily.
