Homework In order to give you an idea of the type of homework that will be assigned throughout the year, we have created the list below. This list is broken up by content area and gives you examples of what types of assignments your child will be completing. In addition, the quality of your child’s homework is important so we have also included our process for grading mechanics. Math: -Approximately 6 – 10 problems daily from textbook (graded once a week, ungraded the rest of the time) -Problem solving twice a week (graded & ungraded) S.S.: -Graded & ungraded constructed response questions Science: -Graded & ungraded CRQ activities from workbook/worksheet 1 – 2 times weekly Reading: -Graded & ungraded ELA preparation activities 2 – 3 times weekly Spelling: -Workbook page given Monday through Thursday Grammar: -2 workbook pages graded once a week MECHANICS : We take 2 points off for every misspelled word in the question, misspelled 4th grade words, missing punctuation and capitalization. We also take ½ credit off any response that does not “echo the question.” |
