What Will Homework Look Like?
Monthly homework packages will be sent home. Please help your child by having a regular time and space for them to work quietly on their homework, and assist them setting up a schedule so they can complete and submit their work on time.
Reading: Students are expected to read for at least 20 minutes a night to improve their reading comprehension, fluency, and word attack skills. This may be independent, with a parent, a sibling or another family member. Students may read their library books, children's magazines, non-fiction books, comic books, cook books, or favourite books from home!
Math: In our monthly homework package, I will provide extra practice/review questions to students that are directly related to what we are learning in class. Students will be asked to study for upcoming Math assessments. Study materials will be shared in your child's Google Classroom for Math.
Science: I may occasionally ask for students to bring in a few items from home or outside in nature to help with a project we are completing in class. Students will be asked to study for upcoming Science assessments. Study materials will be shared in your child's Google Classroom for Science.
When appropriate, classwork that is not completed during the day at school will be sent home for homework.
If I have observed that your child is struggling significantly in class, I will contact you and we can discuss the next steps. If you have any concerns about your child's progress at school, please contact me so we can make a plan together. Thanks for your support!
Timely homework completion will be recorded, but answers will not be taken up at school. However, if your child had difficulty with a question and would like to talk about it with me, they are always welcome!
