MIDDLE SCHOOL...

Homework, Test Preparation, and Organization Skills in Middle School Flex

See Middle School Teacher's Class Pages for assignments.

INDEPENDENT READING- Be sure to log all your reading on your independent reading logs! Middle of the 2nd Trimester is coming up on January 17th!  Keep working on your goal!

If you have modifications to your independent reading, check out the chart below for your contracted grade.

Middle School Incentive Program - When students fill out their planners correctly each day, they may move a marble from one jar to another. Each student may also earn a marble when they go a week without a FLEX alert or getting a 100% on both the spelling AND vocabulary tests. When the students have filled the jar, we will have a game day during FLEX.

Why do teachers give students homework?"Homework is an opportunity for students to learn and for parents to be involved in their children's education. A parent's interest can spark enthusiasm in a child and help teach the most important lesson of all--that learning can be fun and is well worth the effort." (taken from Helping Your Child With Homework by Nancy Paulu.) This is a great Website to explore different ways to help your student(s) with homework.
