Q: Do I have homework in 4th grade? A: Yes, and you will probably even have homework every night.
Q: How long should my homework take me? A: If you are listening in class, keeping up on your assignments during school, and staying focused when you sit down to do your work at night then your homework should never be more than 40-50minutes long. Most of the time it will even be shorter than that.
Q: Is homework new stuff that I have never learned before? A: No, your homework will always be something that practices what we have already talked about in class.
Q: How long do I have to do my homework before it is due? A: All homework is due the next day unless I have given it a special due date.
Q: What happens if I don't understand or forget how to do part of my homework? A: You should always look at your homework before you leave school to make sure you don't have questions. If you get home and still have questions, ask someone at home for help. You can always call a friend from class to see if they can explain what to do over the phone. If you have talked with someone and are still having troubles, have someone at home write me a note circling the part you don't understand. Then, I will talk to you about it in the morning. However, I do have the authority to send you to study hall during recess if you claim not to know how to do the entire page or the majority of the assignment.
Q: What if I forget my homework at home? A: You will have one day to return it on time, but you will still have to walk laps for 1/2 of your time at recess. If you forget your homework two days in a row you will be charged $1 "class cash" for a new copy, and be sent to study hall to complete the work during your recess time. If the work is not finished during the first study hall, then you will be sent back the next day to complete.
Q: Do I get anything special for turning in all my homework? A: Yes, you will be reward $5 "class cash" at the end of the week, and your name will be entered into the pizza party drawing bucket. The more weeks with complete homework the better your chances. I will only draw 5 names to have pizza with me at the end of each nine weeks.
