I give short homework assignments. They consist of 3 to 4 written questions or a vocabulary assignment.
Sometimes homework assignments entail a conversation with a family member. “Home-School Connections”
Students and parents should be looking at the website regularly.
I assign NO major projects outside the classroom that cost any money!!!
