Activities for you to do at home: Spelling and Vocabulary games

Homework is very important in the 4th grade; it is also your child's responsibility. Please make sure your child views homework as priority. Help your child develop excellent habits such as studying and checking his or her homework agenda daily. I will assign a homework buddy and allow time in class to help them get in the routine of writing their assignments down. The purpose of the homework buddy is to cross reference with one another in order to catch any possible missing information or assignment.

Remember to…
-check your homework planner nightly for assignments and notes.
-keep ALL work in the correct section of your binder. DON'T throw anything away!
-use your phone list to contact classmates regarding homework questions.
-have your parents contact me through email with any questions or concerns.
