Homework is usually assigned Monday through Thursday nights. Homework is assigned on the weekends if classwork was not completed or if there's a long- term project due. Most homework is due the very next day. However, in the case of the spelling packet, it is handed out on Thursday and is due the following Thursday. Students may work on it at their own pace. The entire packet must be completed, except for the "Challenge Yourself" section. This section is done on a voluntary basis and students are awarded class stars for completing it. I do encourage students to complete this section.
