2018-2019 Homework Calendar for Mr. Kreuser

• All items highlighted in red are homework and/or things that will go in the gradebook.

• Schedule is subject to change.

• Independent Reading Time (IDR) will occur each day in class, but students are required to read at home every night for 20-30 minutes.

• Each week, a five (5) point reading log will take place to make sure students have been reading at home.

• Our 5th grade gradebooks are a mixture of summative and formative assessments. Almost 80% of their grade is based around their knowledge of the content and their ability to show us these skills with assessments in class.
