Homework The only homework assigned is for students to read their independent books each night for at least 20 minutes. I can tell who reads and who does not during our book checks and book talks. The only other time we have homework is if an assignment is not finished in class. My Expectations
Students are expected to be Responsible, Accountable and Productive at all times. 8th grade English students should always be prepared with paper, pens and pencils, a notebook, a journal and a flash drive. Students are expected to participate and to complete their work on time. It's the student's responsibility to make up in any work missed while they are out. Archives
