What is for Homework?
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the students in D7 are expected to complete a Spelling Activity, Math Assignment and to Read for the At-Home Reading Program. The Spelling Activity choices are in the purple LeMay folder and the spelling words for the week can be found on the Hardcourt Reading website /Spelling Words under the Story of the Week. If your child forgot their math textbook at school, the texbook can be found online on the Math website.
How long should my child spend on their homework?
The Bellevue School District policy for homework is 10 minutes per grade. Therefore fourth graders should complete their assignments within 40 minutes. If it takes your child longer than 40 minutes, please contact me and I will be glad to suggest some time management strategies.
What if my child is not able to do their homework?
There may be several reasons why your child is not able to do their homework.
1. If your child has forgotten how to do the assignment, let me know and I will reteach!
There is NO CRYING over homework!
2. If your family occasionally has activities that interfere with homework time, please let me know so I can give your child the opportunity to complete the assignment in class.
3. If other family members are busy with noisy activities, it is very distracting and can be hard to concentrate. Please help secure a quiet place in your home for your child to study.

What is Homeworkopoly?
Homeworkopoly is a game I use to motivate the students to do their daily homework assignments.
Students are only rewarded for completing assignments, never punished.
Assignments are graded but not recorded.
