No More Homework for the School Year
The 4th grade team has decided not to give any more homework going forward. We highly encourage students to continue reading 20 minutes a night with a parent, as well as continue practicing multiplication flashcards and memorization.
No Homework During Testing
Due to the strenuous testing schedule approaching (see home page or the flyer going home in Wednesday folders) the 4th grade team has decided not to send home reading logs or homework the weeks of April 18th - April 22nd, and April 25th - April 28th. If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact us via email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], or [email protected].
Thanks!
Thanks!
Week 20: January 11th - 15th, 2016
Hi Everyone!
We are happy to announce that due to some changes in the way the 4th grade team will be teaching math, we have decided that we will no longer be giving the same homework in math to all four classrooms. In an attempt to personalize education to the needs of our students we will no longer be able to post the homework on this blog for math. We will continue to post the vocabulary homework that will be for Wednesday nights. If you would like to see the homework that Mrs. Jeffries will be sending home for math you can find that information at: www.mrsjeffriesjournal.weebly.com
Thank you!

The 4th Grade Homework Policy:
It is our belief that homework should truly be a review of concepts already learned within the classroom- and thus we do not sent home homework that we do not believe students should be able to complete successfully with moderate effort. That being said, homework is a valuable tool to help students keep new learning fresh in their memories, and to increase fluency in reading and math.
By fourth grade students should be reading at least 20 minutes a night; we expect that all students are reading 20 minutes a night and completing their reading log each evening. Parents, please do not sign your student's planner if they have not read for twenty minutes as we expect the signature to represent an acknowledgement that all homework has been completed. In addition to daily reading, we expect that students spend a few minutes each day practicing multiplication flashcards. These can be practiced in the car, while waiting as dinner cooks, etc. It is important that students become fluent in multiplication facts, as knowing them will make more complex problems much simpler later on in the school year!
Finally, in addition to daily reading and flashcards, we send home math homework worksheets on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as vocabulary homework on Wednesdays. These worksheets should be basic review, and should not take more than 20 minutes. If your student is struggling with the assigned homework please contact your child's teacher so we can arrange for accommodations or tutoring, etc.
We realize how essential parent support is for homework to be successful, so we want to thank you in advance for your help in encouraging students to practice and discuss their assignments with you. We are looking forward to a great year!!
