Weekly Homework

Homework is required to be turned in weekly. With the exception of reading, you may choose to complete the assignments in any order. Reading should take place every night, 7 days a week. Below is an example of a suggested daily homework schedule.

EVERY NIGHT:

Read for 20-30 minutes. Minutes will gradually increase from 20 minutes to 30 minutes by November. You may want to use the green slip to keep a record of your nightly minutes then record the weekly total in your Monday folder.

• September 20 minutes
• October 25 minutes
• November 30 minutes
