      • Homework will be given daily, unless there is a special project. 
      • Students will record homework assignments in their planners
      • Students are required to read twenty minutes each night.   
      • The students will record the number of minutes read 
      • Parents please sign your initials next to the number of minutes read.
      • All homework will be discussed in detail with extension activities.  Therefore it is important that students come prepared with homework completed.

English Language Arts Homework - Cover Portfolio (Special Homework Project) - Due Tuesday, September 3rd.

Using the file folder that was sent home on Monday, and Tuesday for Ellerbe's homeroom, create a collage of photos, favorite memories, dreams, favorite people, foods, places, etc....  Please keep in mind that I will laminate these folders.  So do not add raised decor to the files.
