In January, when normal homework resumes:
If you've lost your homework, you may print out another copy by using
the "Homework Downloads" icon on the Home Page, then selecting the current
assignment listed below. NOTE: Be sure to write "Download" on the top of
your paper.
For other in-class vocabulary words, you may go to the "Check Your
Vocab" icon on the Home Page.
On the homework vocabulary entries, students must correctly match an
entry to its definition and then choose the correct application. The
application must then be copied on the lines provided. This helps prepare
students for the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS), and the Oklahoma Core
Curriculum Test (OCCT), which are taken by sixth graders during the academic
year.
Parents are asked to double-check for spelling, capitalization, and
punctuation. Basic definitions may also be found by clicking the 'Check Your
Vocab' icon on the home page.
