Reminders:
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not
be accepted) and pencil will also not be accepted unless it is
specified.
B. If the assignment states that looseleaf is to be used, no other types of
paper will be accepted (paper ripped out of notebooks or legal
pads is unacceptable).
C. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a note
from a parent explaining why it is not complete.
This will only be accepted if there is an emergency at home (not
because you were too tired or that you had too much other HW).
will not be accepted.
information for the books will be listed in the Reading NB (such as title,
author,etc). Your child will have approximately three weeks to read the
book. He/she should take notes while reading the book (write them on
loose-leaf, a notebook, or index cards). A test will be given after the
completion of each book. Your child will be allowed to use their notes
during the test, but not the book. The book must be returned on the
day of the test. A new book will not be given to your child until the
previous one is returned. If the book gets lost or damaged, your
child must pay for it.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
