Homework Strategies
If students are unable to complete homework for some reason or need additional help, please attach a note to the homework indicating reasons so that I can help them at school. Students should be able to complete homework independently as it is assigned as an extension of our classroom learning. However, parents are encouraged to review homework and provide support as necessary.Slide10

Spelling pre-tests will be given at the beginning of each week . Based on the pre-test results, students will work on regular or challenge word lists.

Both spelling tests will be given on Fridays. One unannounced bonus word will be given for an extra credit point.Slide12
