HomeWork Plan
Beginning in November, the Joy of Reading Club is a program to encourage Reading at home. It is made up of 10 levels, one for each 10 hours of reading done by or with the student. We start with the Terrific Tens for 10 hours of reading and go through the levels to the Happy Hundreds for 100 hours of reading. At each level the student receives a certificate of completion of that level. At the 20's, 40's, 60's, 80's, and 100's levels, the student also receives a certificate for a free book from a special Joy of Reading collection. At the 50's and 100's levels, the student is invited to a free pizza lunch with Mrs. Luckenbaugh. Other prizes are also available at other levels.
The guidelines for participation are listed below.
1. Students may claim up to five books per week and should take 14 days (two full weeks) to complete a record
sheet.
2. About one hour of reading time would qualify as a book. This could be made up of several short books, or only a
chapter or two of a longer book.
3. Students may receive credit for books read by them or to them. Books may be read out loud or silently.
4. The student must discuss the book with his or her parent and it should be an enjoyable and interactive time!
The Joy of Reading Club begins each year in late November or early December. Look for information around Thanksgiving Break. We hope to have you join then! Happy Reading!
If you have any questions about the Joy of Reading Club, you may contact the office at school at 503-661-6226.

HomeWork Plan
In order to enhance our students' learning, the staff at Hollydale has developed the
following homework plan. Homework may include, but is not limited to the areas of
math, reading, writing, science and social studies.
The purpose of homework is to practice and reinforce lessons taught during the school day,
to foster family communication and involvement, and to build each student's independence and creativity.
General Guideline
Homework will be assigned 4 nights per week, with 3 nights free in order to allow flexibility for family schedules.
The exception to the 4-night limit would be if a student has makeup work to complete. Students will be accountable
to the teacher for completing homework assignments, obtaining any make-up work as a result of absences,
and in return will receive acknowledgement for their work. This feedback could be oral or written,
to include individual, group and/or whole class discussion, allowing for specific comments, encouragement,
and remedies for particular problem areas.
