I believe homework is important because it gives students another opportunity to review class material and it gives parents a chance to see what is being learned in school.

📝 Nightly Homework (Monday–Thursday only)

• What to expect: One math or reading worksheet per night.

• Keep it independent: This is a review of what we learned in class, so your child should be able to do it on their own!

• Time limit: It should take no more than 10-15 minutes.

• Tools: Please use a #2 pencil or crayons as applicable (no pens or markers, please!).

• Return: Complete neatly and return it the next morning unless a date is specified.

• Additional and/or modified activities: may be assigned due to student need.

📚 Reading Logs - (Monday–Thursday only)

• Read: Read to your child or have him/her read to you for 15 minutes every night.

• Sign it: Fill out and sign the reading log inside your child's homework folder.

🎨 A Note on Projects & Perfection

While we want to encourage our students to do their best and produce quality work, I love seeing projects that truly look like a kindergartener made them. Phonetic spelling and giant, uneven letters are beautiful signs of learning! Please resist the urge to "fix" or take over your child's work. Kindergarten teachers love seeing their best effort at a kindergarten level.

⚠️ Missing or Late Work

• Day 1 & 2: Incomplete work will be sent back home to try again.

• Day 3: If it is still missing, your child may miss recess or center time to finish it, and we will set up a quick parent homework contract.

• Life happens! If you have a family emergency, just send me an email. I am always happy to grant extra time!

How you can help:

• Read the instructions to your child.  Go over the first problem with him/her to ensure s/he understands what to do.

• Allow your child to work independently. 

• Provide a quiet place, free from distractions, for your child to work.

• Make sure your child has all the supplies needed before starting on the assignment.

• Check that his/her name is written on the worksheet and that the assignment is complete, accurate, and neat.

• Remind students to write in #2 pencil and color in crayon.

• If your child completes his/her homework at A+, please review the accurateness and neatness of your child's work when they come home.  Have them correct the work if applicable.
