Do I have to write in cursive?
Yes! All students are expected to take notes in cursive. You will be taught important notetaking skills: writing in short phrases and using your own words, which will help you write faster. When printing words, students must lift the pencil after EACH letter. When writing in cursive, the pencil is not lifted until the end of EACH word! The only exception to writing in cursive is when you are labeling maps.Back to Top
Will I have nightly homework in History and/or Science?
No and Yes! Homework regarding vocabulary important to the understanding of an ancient civlization or Science topic will be given at the beginning of every unit. Understanding where a civilization existed on a map will also be assigned at the beginning of each new unit. Maps not completed in class will be completed as homework. No other nightly homework will be given; however, students are expected to study their notes NIGHTLY in order to be ready for quizzes and tests.Back to Top
