What is your homework policy?

Homework is expected to come to school finished and ready to go
at 9:00 a.m. If a student doesn't finish it, he/she has until 3:00 pm to
complete it for 1/2 credit. I generally do not accept late homework, but life
happens! So email me or send me a note, and let's talk!

Why does it seem like 6th grade is so hard?

The state standards ask a great deal of our kids! Often times, the
students are doing work that we adults were not doing in school until
middle, or even high school! The standards ask that I teach skills that use the
higher order thinking of application, analysis, evaluation and synthesis....
That means,that I have to expose them to these skills! Don't worry, they
will get it! I will expose them all year, and I will challenge them, but they
are amazing and intelligent!
