     Each night, there will be homework.  It may either be a written 
assignment or to study for at least 15 minutes.  Students should study a 
little bit every night so that when it comes time for a test or quiz, they 
will not feel overwhelmed or frustrated. Whenever new vocabulary words are 
introduced, students will be asked to create flashcards or do an asiignment 
that will help them learn the words.  They should also be studying their 
notes each night as part of their daily homework routine.  They can either 
study with a friend, a parent/guardian or older sibling, or make flash cards 
up for themselves of questions like the questions that I model in class each 
day.  Good habits begin now!!
