Homework
Students will be assigned homework daily (Monday-Thursday). All homework will be logged daily in the planner. Students will have reading, spelling and math assignments. Homework is due the next day unless stated otherwise.
Your child has an AVID G.O. Binder this year to help teach him/her how to be responsible and organized. The "G.O." stands for Getting Organized. Students should bring the binder to school daily. In this G.O. Binder students will find their planner/agenda, homework folder and divider tabs.
- Planner/Agenda - Students will be responsible for writing down their homework daily. As assignments are completed students should check off the assignments in the designated column. Please check and sign the planner daily. (**Students will take some time to get the hang of copying the homework**)
- Homework Folder - This is where your child's homework (math/grammar) and any other important papers that need to be signed (e.g. field trip forms) will be. There will be a return to school and a keep at home section.
- Reading Log Tab - Your child will be given a new reading log each month where he/she will record what he/she has read. Reading can be shared reading (read with parents/adult/older sibling) or independent. Students will bring home leveled "I Can Read" books that students should be able to read independently. Books that are sent home will be placed in this pocket tab and should be placed back into the pocket after reading.
- Resources Tab - This is where you will find a password tracker, reading strategies, a math 100's chart and other important resources.
- Study Guide Tab - Whenever your child has to study for a test, you will find study books and guides in this section. Encourage students to always place the books and guides back in the pocket just in case we need to use them in class.
