Monthly Homework

Every month, students will receive a reading log to keep track of time spent reading during the month and the books they finish. I will include a goal for each month, but students can choose the days they read, how long they read, how they read (paper book, audiobook, ebook, etc.) or what books they want to read at home. What's important to me is that they develop a reading routine and that they enjoy reading! I only ask for a signature before it's turned in for some accountability on their part. The back is a book log to help them keep track of the books they finish for classroom and school-wide reading challenges. Reading logs are not graded. If you need a blank any-month reading log, you can find one here.

Weekly Homework

At the end of every week, students will receive a small packet of spelling practice, due at the end of the following week (typically Friday). Each packet will contain the spelling words for the week, bonus words for extra credit, and various activities to practice their word knowledge. When they get their homework, we read through the word list and go over all the instructions for each activity. At the end of the week, homework is due and there is a spelling quiz. Spelling homework is not graded, but the spelling quiz is. I keep extra copies of spelling homework in my classroom, and will link .pdfs in my Google Classroom.
