Homework Expectations

The primary purpose of homework is practice, an extension of the day’s work, time to work on long-term projects or an investigation of something for class discussion, not introduction of a new skill. Students should be able to complete it independently. If unable to complete an assignment independently, please notify your teacher. 7th—8th grade teachers work together as a team to plan for approximately one hour nightly, unless a student opts to take on extra courses or enrichment, such as language, algebra, music, band, etc.

Language Arts & Social Studies 10/15/14

L.A.:

  • Reading Journal check tomorrow - one page summary and 2 literary devices
  • Spelling and vocabulary quizzes for Classical Roots lesson 1 are tomorrow
  • Thinkcerca.com article by Friday
  • Comics for "Thank You Ma'am" are due Monday.  Students started today and will have all class tomorrow to work on these.  Try out each of these comic strip creators, then decide on one that will work best for your plans.  These each have different functionality and design options, so it’s important to explore each of them before making a decision about which one you will use.
