Homework


 * //__Homework __//**

Parents,

Each month, I send home our monthly **//__Homework Packet__//**. September – April will consist of 4 weeks of homework. Homework is not due until the last day of the month and will be collected then. I’m asking that you make sure your child’s name is on their homework, so they can get credit for it when I’m grading them for gradespeed. Homework will count for 10% of your child’s grade!!

Each month, I will put a homework packet in the back pocket of your BEAR Binder. Your child is required by Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools to do homework 4 nights a week. I would like for you to work on homework Monday – Thursday and the pages of the packet are labeled accordingly. This work should be fairly easy to finish and should take no longer than 5 – 10 minutes a night.

We will also begin our RAH program which stands for Reading At Home! I would like for you to read a book each night and our goal is to read at least 30 books each nine weeks. There is a separate handout that explains RAH in more detail. Your child’s RAH sheet will be located inside their binder next to the behavior chart.

All of this is to prepare your child for the future grades as homework becomes more and more important. Try to set aside a time each night to sit down with your child and work on their Homework Packet and to read for RAH.
