They may not know the math workbook page that night but they can always do Reading Plus, Jiji, or Wordly Wise. Okay! So with that said, homework is always on our May Do board, meaning that if all their other assignments are completed, they can go ahead and work on their homework. Regardless, it takes about twenty minutes. They do this in lieu of a workbook page that night. ![]() Once a week, students are asked to do only Jiji, another district-wide math program.

This is OFTEN done in class but takes anywhere from five (the vocabulary assignments) to twenty minutes. They can work at their own pace but we HIGHLY encourage doing at least one each evening. Reading Plus (a program used district-wide): Our fifth graders are responsible for completing three SRs and three RA assignments each week. Homework is never anything new it is always review and for us, it’s very predictable, which I’ll share below.
