 | | Weekly Homework | | The science book can be taken home and left there until the end of the year!
Each Monday a new, 4-section chapter is assigned and is due on Friday.
Each
night for homework (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays only) the
students are to read one section (4 - 6 pages) of the chapter and then
answer the "Section Wrap-up" questions (including the Skill Builders)
in their science notebook (usually 4 - 6 questions). These are then
graded by the teacher on Fridays. Points are then awarded in the
gradebook.
This use of the textbook as homework keeps the
students abreast of the concepts being discussed during classtime. It
is very important that the students keep up with this homework. At this
school we spend very little time in class going over the book.
