In general Remember:
Check the planner Monday through Thursday night. Each student is responsible
for copying all work for the day into their planner and then highlighting or
circling work that needs to be completed for homework that night. All
students should plan to have homework Monday through Thursday night for 15
minutes.
Priorities are as listed below:
1. Completing assignments due the following day
2. Studying for upcoming tests or reviewing readings
4. Reading: if all of the above is done READ! Reading is the best way to
become a better reader, speller and writer, which will help students in
every subject. Reading also promotes imagination since students visualize
characters and scenes in their brain.
