Forgetting Homework

Of course no one should forget their homework.  However, on occasion some do forget it. Once or 
twice is not a problem.  If however it is more than that, do not give in to coming back to school to 
get it every day.  Some things can be done at home without the copy paper sheet.  For example:  if 
the reading sheet is forgotten, just sign on a seperate piece of paper everything that is expected on 
the regular sheet and I will add the information when they come in.   If they forget spelling 
homework:  ABC order / Sentences can be done on a seperate piece of paper.  If a word grid was for 
homework, have them write their spelling words 3 x each and bring that in.

Why are there so many book orders?

Books are WONDERFUL!  By  giving so many book orders out to look at, 
I feel that I am allowing students and their families a variety of choices.  
I 
send them all home at one time because I know some families are on 
fixed incomes and this way the student may pick their one or two favorite 
books without having to worry that another book form may come home 
soon.

How often do book orders get sent home?

I like to send the order forms home at the beginning of each month.  The 
forms and money are usually due one week later.

Who changes the homework?

The students are learning how to update the homework.  Students are assigned jobs in a two week 
interval.  The website should not be relied on for assignments (sometimes are computers are not 
working or the student doesn't get the homework updated before their bus is called)
