HOMEWORK NEWS

The school provides each student with a Vassar Road Homework Planner.  
Each morning upon arrival, the student will copy their homework in their 
planner. It is critical that the homework is correctly and completely copied.
A parent/gaurdian needs to sign their child's planner each night to indicate 
that the homework is completed. Planners need to be signed nightly to 
keep the lines of communication open between home and school.The planner 
will be checked and stamped each morning to verify that the planner was is 
signed and the homework assignments were completed. Yellow highlighter will 
be used when checking  planners to indicate if something incomplete, copied 
incorrectly, or not signed.

Students will have two homework assignments from math & language arts in the 
beginning of the year each night for homework.  Throughout the year, there 
will be at least one assignment from a textbook nightly.  This will help 
them to follow written directions and utilize looseleaf paper in an 
organized manner. At times, it is possible that there may be an additional 
assignment.

The "15 Minute Reading Log" in conjunction with the planner is also part of 
homework. Students must read fifteen minutes each night. The student must 
write the title of the book, author, and the pages read each night.. Please 
take a moment to ask your child to tell you about what they read to 
enhance "summarizing" skills before signing the log.

T.I.C. NOTATION

T.I.C. = Completed “Together in Class”

When assignments are completed together in class, as a group lesson or 
discussion, the students will write C.I.C. on the top of the paper.

C.I.C. NOTATION

C.I.C. = "Corrected in Class”

When assignments are reviewed and corrected together aloud, 
the students will write “C.I.C.” indicating that we went over it in class. 
Students will make their own corrections using their red pen as they follow 
along in class.

***Homework is review of the concepts taught for the day. If you find that 
your child is struggling, please jot me a note and I will happily sit with 
him/her one-on-one to reinforce the concept.

We will be doing "Flash Fives" (drilling flashcards with a partner)throughout 
the year. As the year progresses we will ask that you purchase  
flash cards as part of our supplies, they are essential to our successful 
mastery of all facts. The students are to take a few minutes to study their 
addition/subtraction facts on a nightly basis.

Content area tests will be announced and written in planners. A study guide 
will be provided and no less than 1 week of study time will be given to 
prepare.
