Subject Area Homework Overview
READING
All fourth graders are expected to read a minimum of 30 minutes per night and note the pages read in their planbooks. Whether the book read is independently selected or a class book will depend on the teacher.
WRITING SKILLS
All fourth graders receive weekly writing skills homework. This includes a spelling assignment (usually, but not always from the workbook) and often an additional assignment such as summarizing an article. Students are expected to practice keyboarding 10-15 minutes several nights per week in order to reach the fourth grade goal of 20 wpm by the end of the year. (Weekly keyboard checks in class monitor this at-home practice.)

MATH
Math is assigned regularly by each math teacher.
