• HOMEWORK:  This will be posted in class every day in the morning and at the end of the day during dismissal. Students will be able to use their Homework Journal to write all work down before they leave for the day.  We will not have writing homework every day because most of our work will be done in class with writing assignments. Spelling will be assigned weekly.
