Homework will not be posted on the class website. It is the duty of each student to write his/her homework in his/her agenda daily. It is also your child's responsibility to turn in his/her homework at the appropriate time everyday. There will be no homework assigned on Fridays.

~ homework that includes varied activities which reinforce the basic skills or extend and enrich concepts learned;
~ homework that does not introduce new concepts;
