In our fifth grade math class, Math homework is given every Wednesday and is due the following Wednesday.  Yes, that means you have an entire WEEK to complete your math homework.  Since you have an entire week to complete the assignment (which is always a review of some sort), and time to ask questions if needed, your math homework should be the easiest way for you to get an A on an assignment.  Your easy A. 

Now for some good news and some bad news.

The good news: 1) Homework this week was a review of adding, subtracting, and multiplying   2) all but two 5th graders had their homework assignment completed today (96%)!  :)   3)  ALL students in homerooms 5A and 5C had their homework completed!  Great job!

The bad news:   1)   only 13 students out of  57 earned an A (23%) on the assignment!

Back to good news.  Who were those 13 students who earned an EASY A?

In 5A:  Stephen, Kyra, and Vanessa.  In 5B:  Lisa, Caleb, Austin P. and Rhianna.  In 5C:  Leah-Ann, Dawn, Frankie, Hayley, Sky, and Andrew.  Way to go!

So my question is:  Are you  making homework your easy A?  Are you taking the time to do your best?  Are you using resources (parents, grandparents, brother, sister, notes, teachers) to help make sure that you understand and get the right answers?  If not, why?
