Homework:

• Unfinished classwork
• READ! Every student will have an “independent reading” book that they read in class and at home as necessary to stay on track with their individual goals.  Students are graded according to meeting individual book deadlines, quality of “quick write” or graphic organizer for each book, and success on the Reading Counts quiz for each book. 

Classroom Rules:

These three simple rules cover most classroom offenses.
