They will be informed as to when they will need art supplies as well, but most of these will be provided for them in the classroom. These can be purchased at any office supply or discount store such as Target or Staples. The student will also have to purchase science display boards and poster paper for certain projects. All other materials that are required for lab work will be provided. Being that all students have a different pace at which they work, some students will finish their homework in class while others may have to spend time at home.
Homework is independent practice.
Occasionally, students will be told they may complete their homework with other classmates. However, unless otherwise told, all assignments are meant to be completed alone. Homework reinforces the concepts that were taught in a lesson or laboratory activity. Homework for each evening will be written on the board in the front of the room. It will also be kept on the homework board until the end of each week.
