Homework is an important aspect of 5th grade ELA. If homework is not
completed in a timely manner, a student's grade can drop drastically.
Homework consists of 25% of a student's overall semester grade. Students
will know what assignments will be handed in and graded. There will also be
an effort grade for homework.
Students are also responsible for reading four chapter books outside of
school this year. They will have a corresponding project that goes along
with the book that they read. Students will be notified of the project about
a month in advance. Two of these books will be student choice, and two of the
books will have to be a specific genre.
