Mr. Marks's Class

Homework

Homework is an effective tool to help each student develop a successful method for studying     outside the classroom.  It reinforces skills and material learned in class, prepares students for upcoming class topics, and helps foster responsibility.  It also gives you the opportunity to observe the study habits of your child and to become familiar with academic expectations.  Homework will be given Monday thru Thursday, and is due at 9:00 the following day. 

If a child loses their homework, they can replace it by having a parent or guardian make up at least 15 math problems, or write a short story ( at least 10 sentences), or write 10 sentences using at lest seven words in a sentence.  All homework is to be in the child's best handwriting.

From the internet, you can print out a worksheet for your child to complete to replace their lost homework. 

The children will be reading each weeknight for at least 20 minutes.  It is important to the children’s success that they read nightly. There will be a monthly reading calendar sent to record their nightly reading. Please verify that your child has read by signing the monthly reading calendar and returning it at the end of the month.

If a child does not bring in their homework, then a consequence will have to take place.  They will receive one reminder and miss part of their morning recess.
