Fourth grade has had trouble with their work ethic on completing assignments on time and doing a thorough job. I had several students who did not turn assignments in or turned them in with most questions wrong because they rushed to complete it. From now on, students will have a Scholastic News Article to read with questions to answer, a spelling practice worksheet, and a reading assignment focusing on what they are currently learning. These are all worked on during class and are expected to be completed by the end of class on Thursday. Students who do not complete assignments will be sent to study hall until they are complete. Also, students who receive a 1 on any assignment will have it sent home for parent signature and are expected to correct the assignment at home and return it the following school day.
