Each night, there will be homework. It may either be a written
assignment or to study for at least 15-20 minutes. Students should study a
little bit every night so that when it comes time for a test or quiz, they
will not feel overwhelmed or frustrated. When new vocabulary is introduced,
students will be asked to create flashcards or do an assignment that will
help them learn the words. They should study their notes each night as part
of their daily homework routine. They can either study with a friend, a
parent/guardian or older sibling, or make flash cards up for themselves of
questions. Good learning habits begin now!!
