• A homework policy will be sent home and signed by the parents and students at the beginning of each year.  All students will be expected to abide by the terms.

• Homework in my classroom will be given Monday's through Thursday's and it will always be due to myself the following morning.

• The pages of homework will vary throughout the year from 2 - 4 pages, consisting of math, handwriting, and literacy.  It will be an extension of work that was completed that day in class.

• Once a month students will also be given a list of Word Wall Words to take home and study.  The list will grow from 5 words in September to 40 words in June.

• After completion of the child's homework each evening I would ask that a parent/guardian would initial each page after its accuracy and legibility is checked.

• Word wall words can sometimes be described as high-frequency words.  These words are among the most common words in the English language.

• Some examples of these words are the, of, is, and my. 

• In most cases our word wall words cannot be spelled phonologically, this is why it is important for the students to become familiar with them just by sight and frequency.

• Word wall words will be reviewed by the students and I every morning.  Each word will be said, spelled and then said three more times (the, t-h-e, the-the-the).

• A word wall test will be given to the students once a month and a list of the words will be sent home about a week prior the test.

• Learning these words will be crucial to the students and their ability to read and write.
