Welcome to Fourth Grade!

Homework is a very important part of fourth grade. There are several purposes 
for homework. The first is to practice a new concept learned in class.  This 
type of homework will include vocabulary, reading, and math.  For this type 
of homework, students are reviewing a new concept presented during a lesson. 
If students have questions, they can write them on their homework, and bring 
them in for discussion.

The second type of homework is practice of a previously learned skill. This 
means that students should be independently completing this work.  This is 
just a review to keep strategies, algorithms, vocabulary, and skills freshi 
in their minds.

The third type of homework is preparing for an upcoming lesson or test.  This 
includes studying!  To study, students should reread vocabulary and/or texts, 
write definitions, repeat concepts/spelling verbally, write spelling words 
multiple times, make flashcards, and even work with a classmate.

Homework is written in agendas each week (usually Monday) and should be 
completed nightly.  In fourth grade, we encourage students to be responsible 
for checking their agendas to see what each night's assignment is.  Homework 
is assigned for every day we are in school- including Friday's.  Students 
should complete the homework assigned in pencil, and return it to school the 
next day.  Names (first and last) should be written at the top of each page, 
as well as the date.  Math StudyLinks also have a space for the time.

Homework completed in pen will be returned and completed again in pencil.  
Incomplete or missing homework will be completed during recess, along with a 
Homework Notice.  Students must return the Homework Notice the following day 
with a parent/guardian signature.  This is to keep parents informed about 
home habits.
