13. Spelling and Vocabulary
I am trying hard to get everyone their log-ins for Spelling City and Quizlet (which has activities for Vocabulary) Please be patient!

14. Homework Policy
First of all it is a horrible rumor that I do not assign homework.
I do however keep it to meaningful and manageable homework.
Vocabulary and Spelling work will be given on Mondays and due Fridays
Reading logs will be either for Book Club Books or their own - I expect students to read at least 5x’s a week for minutes a day.
We are not taking timed fact tests in 4B (ask me why :) but we still need to learn our facts…. Please have your child study those facts for 10 minutes a night… and sign the planner at the end of the week. I will give students some ideas on the computer but I will also have practice sheets available to them all year. Flashcards work well too!
