Hey there!
Big things are happening this week! In Math the fourth graders will be having their first quiz. We will spend the week reviewing our previous concepts then have our quiz on Thursday. Students will also complete their group plan and begin research after it is approved for their first Social Studies project.
I have a quick side note on homework. It is very important for students to complete homework assignments. I use the information provided from these assignments to determine areas that students need additional help with during class time. I have several students that have not completed any homework. This is not good. Students will still be expected to complete these sections on IXL.
Beginning next week, students that do not complete homework will be sent to study hall. They will continue to attend study hall until all missing homework is complete. I do not wish to send students to study hall. Please help remind your students to complete their homework. All homework information is available here on the blog on the homework page.
One update to my homework policy is how I will be grading it. I will grade homework (specifically IXL) on a weekly basis. Students should have all assignments complete by Fridays at 4:00 p.m. This will provide me with enough time to grade all students' work. This also helps students, as there may be a school night that is very busy. Please do not use this policy as a reason to put off homework till Friday. A lot of times the information covered in class builds upon one another making it very important that students practice one topic before moving on to the next day's topic.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Zimmerman
