Homework
Homework in 5F
All homework is posted in the 5F Google classroom. Most of what we are doing in class as well as homework will be referenced there. Each afternoon, I will post reminders and homework in the Google classroom stream. Also, there will be additional resources and assignments posted in the classwork section.
Summit Elementary Schools’ Homework Policy
Homework will be assigned only when students have demonstrated an initial understanding of material. The responsibility and requirements of homework will be increased gradually from grade to grade. When homework is assigned, average time allotments by grade are as follows: (Exclusive of daily independent reading time.)
Kindergarten - Periodically
Grade 1 - 10 minutes
Grade 2 - 20 minutes
Grade 3 - 30 minutes
Grade 4 - 40 minutes
Grade 5 - 50 minutes
Students should use this time to:
1) Complete all assignments that are due the next day
2) Work on long-term projects and activities
3) Study for tests
4) Organize school materials
In addition to approximately 50 minutes of homework in the 5th grade, students are to read for 30 minutes each night. This means that students should spend approximately 80 minutes on homework and reading each night.
50 minutes of homework + 30 minutes of reading = 80 minutes
