THERE IS ALWAYS HOMEWORK!
 * __Homework__ ** is an extension of the learning experiences you have during the instructional day. Homework is designed to help you achieve classroom and school goals. You will have homework every day. You will need to set aside approximately ** 1 hour a day **, depending on how fast you work. Your homework will fall into these five categories:

=**Weekly** ‘Dictée’: This is memory and written work which will be set every week. You will need to set time aside **EVERY DAY** to prepare for this.See the dictée webpage for more details about the dictée routine. Approx. 20 minutes= =**Revision drill**: this is an extension of the work introduced in class. It is an individual activity that will strengthen any weak areas. Approx. 5-10 min= =**Research long term assignments:** this is work which involves the use of reference material (city library, school library, textbooks, Internet etc…) It is assigned on an extended time basis with a list of criteria and a due date. Approx. 10-20 min.= =**Review**: this will not appear on your agenda all the time. You are expected to spend about **15 minutes** every day at home studying previously learned material=
 * 1)  **Unfinished work**: this is work not completed in class and is within your ability to complete at home. Approx. 5-10 min.

This is how homework should normally be organized every night. Remember, these times are not exact; you may need more or less time to complete your homework.

When you have long-term assignments due, you will be given both class time and homework time to complete them. You may find that you have more than one hour of homework, depending on your work speed. If your homework is at home, we will consider it as not done, your name will go on the homework board. You may be expected to stay in at recess or lunch to do your missing homework, or it may be due the next day. This will depend on the exact situation. **Please speak to your teacher about why you have not completed your homework; she may be able to help you in some way.**

= NEVER say you don't have homework! = == Decide the order of priority before starting your homework. What is due tomorrow, if you need to work on a project for 10 minutes, then do it AFTER you've done the homework that is due tomorrow. == = Ask your parents or teacher for help if you're having trouble deciding the order of priority for your homework. = = CALL A __HOMEWORK BUDDY__ when you have trouble with homework. = = Don't forget to read EVERY night.
