**Note to Parents:

Every day students are given class work that should be taken home if they do not finish it up in class.  I also would like to see them reading for at least 3o min.  five nights per week. It is also helpful for students to bring their Science and History journals home to review content material.

Students have agendas that are helpful to record homework, spelling words for the week, and up and coming test/quiz dates.

Some students like an extra challenge for “homework”.  In order to get a little “extra credit” students may research and write a 3/4 page report with a 1/4 page diagram (totaling a full page to hand in) on an Extra Topic of the Week.  This week there are “words”  LVAD and Hydrocephalus.
