You will have homework assigned Monday - Thursday on most nights. Homework is written on our Homework Board in the classroom and students copy down the assignments in their planner. You will receive your planner on the first day of school. It is chock full of helpful things, so take some time to explore it! Teachers will be checking to make sure students are writing down their homework each day for the first few weeks of school. After that, it is the student's responsibility to ensure homework is recorded & completed daily. A photo of the homework board will be sent each day to parents using an app called REMIND. Parents seem to love this! It allows them to see exactly what is assigned each night for homework & stay in the know about important upcoming tests and due dates. Students also love REMIND because if they forget to write down their homework, there is always a photo to refer to! It is a win-win for everyone!
Summer Assignments
Summer Reading & Math Assignment - Did you do the suggested summer reading tasks or optional summer math assignments? If you did, please be ready to share about your experience during the first week of school.
You will hand in your "shelfie" picture &/or your Rainy Day Reading Choice Board to your literacy teacher.
If you completed any of the summer math activities, including the optional math packet, you can hand it in to Mrs. Atkinson on the first day of school or any day thereafter during the month of September. You can also take a picture of you doing a math activity and bring it into school. I will hang up your math "selfies" outside the classroom for everyone to admire. Everyone who does so will be entered to win a super special math prize! Students who complete the paper math packet by the end of September will also receive a special prize from me, Mrs. Atkinson. Paper copies of the packet will be available in school on the first day, so no worries if you haven't (or can't) print it. Remember, all summer assignments are completely OPTIONAL. You do not have to do any of them, but I'm sure it would make your teachers very happy if you did!
