Reminders:
As stated on last week's blog, these are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork. Your child will lose points if they do not follow the directions stated below:
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 are 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).
D. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy, crossed out or illegible will not be accepted.
E. Please check the blog every day in case of changes or updates.
F. Books were distributed two weeks ago for the children to read. Some 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!
