Homework

Daily and Weekly Homework Schedule for Mr. Ellinger

Note 1 – Every day except for Vocabulary Quizzes will include a new vocabulary word and practice activity. These Power Points can be found in the Vocabulary section of the website

Note 2 – Every Student should be reading an average of 20 minutes each day at home – this requirement will not be listed as a daily homework assignment but is a class expectation.

Note 3 - I will have the site updated by 4:30 each day - Absences do not excuse you from homework unless there is no way for you to complete the work.
