Mr.
Kuh’s Homework Policy & Grading Scale
Homework:
Homework is typically assigned once a
week. (Monday, due Friday)
These assignments are required by all students and will be recorded in PowerSchool.
At least once a quarter there will be an extra credit assignment. You
will receive anywhere from 1 to 5 bonus points for completing and giving your best effort on extra credit assignments.
Bonus points will be applied to the grade each quarter and may not
be saved for future grading periods.

- Check sixthgradeeastblock.blogspot.com and your child’s assignment book daily!
- Help your child find a quiet, well-lit place to do schoolwork.
- Work with your child to create his/her own organizational system.
- Talk with your child about the connection between mathematics and the real world.
- Help your child with time management.
- Encourage your child to seek help when needed. I am available before school, during class, during support period and/or after school.
- Read
the book Mindset, by Carol Dweck. (Particularly Chapter 7)
- When your child struggles with homework, stress that they try something. They can refer to their in-class work where they solved similar problems and/or call a peer. Bottom line…try something and then come to class ready to ask questions and learn.
