PARENT Tips for helping with ENGLISH Homework!

Greetings from the English Classroom,

Now that we are in full swing, I thought I would compile some effective tips for parents to help their kiddos with the weekly English homework.  As a Mom and teacher, I know sometimes it's hard to know how to best support my kids with the homework they bring home.

Remember: Your child will receive 2 extra credit points for you checking and signing ALL homework assignments!!!!

Weekly Spelling Packets:

·      Check the spelling packet’s sentences: Did your child use each word in a complete sentence and spell the words correctly?

·      On the Matching: Did they match the words correctly?

·      Did they use a dictionary or dictionary.com for help?

·      Check the matching on the last page for correctness

·      Spelling Packets are DUE every Thursday with a quiz, you can help them Wednesday night study!

Grammar:

*Check their grammar homework every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night

*Did they follow the directions and complete the assignment correctly?

Creative Writing (7^th grade Only) Due every WEDNESDAY:

            *Did they writing 10 complete grade level sentences using strong verbs?

            *Did they use the week’s spelling words in their journal entry?

Current Event: (Grades 8-11 only)

            *Is it one page handwritten?

            *Is there correct MLA citation for article?

            *Are the sentences grade level and grammatically correct?

            *Ask your child to see the rubric for this assignment!

Also, please remember I blog each week’s homework assignments at mpotas.blogspot.com. And please use Infinite Campus to monitor your child’s grades and assignments!

I am always here to help,

Mrs. Potas
