Homework

Homework

· The purpose of homework is to reinforce skills taught in class, teach time management skills and responsibility.

· You should expect to spend 15 - 20 minutes a night on homework, along with 20 minutes of reading. Homework is not assigned over weekends or holidays.

· Children have been provided with a durable two-pocket folder to be used as a take-home/homework folder. Homework will go home in this folder and should be returned in it as well. This folder should be returned to school each day.

· Homework might include:

ü 20 minutes of reading

ü Math Home links

ü Addition and Subtraction math facts

ü Handwriting review

ü Spelling and Word Study practice

ü Writing assignments

· It is important that children read for pleasure each night for about 20 minutes. This can include reading with a parent or sibling! Students will receive reading logs each month to keep track of their reading.

Please send in a note if your child struggles with an assignment. If an assignment takes longer than 20 minutes, you may stop at that spot and just write a note indicating the time.

Please encourage your child to do his/her best on all work. It is important to have your child double check his/her assignment for any mistakes. All assignments should have your child's first and last name on it. All assignments should be one in pencil.
