Homework

On this page you will find the homework assignments for the week and homework hints if needed. Sometimes I might post a helpful video or sample to get you through a challenging assignment. As a rule, homework is something your student can do relatively independently. You do not need to correct it or try to figure it out.

Students will come home with a pineapple folder labelled "Homework". On one side will be the homework for the week and the agenda. These need to stay in your child's folder and come back to school each day, even though homework is not due until Friday. Any notes about homework can be written on the parent comment section of the agenda page. I will be checking each morning to see if there were any questions/problems and I may write some communication to you.

Also, anything that needs to come back to school such as forms and permission slips will be tucked inside the agenda so that you can check them out , sign them and return them to school.

The other pocket in the folder will be where you will find corrected work and tests as well as notices, lunch menus, etc. These should be emptied each week and kept at home.

I give students a homework packet on Monday to be passed in on Friday. This allows for planning and coordinating around students' activities and commitments. However, sometimes students do better being given daily homework and passing it in each morning. Please do not hesitate to request this option for your students.

Students should spend no more than 20 minutes per subject. If something takes longer than that simply stop and write a quick note.Your student and I will talk about it the next day and see if we can solve the problem. If your student does not understand how to do something and has really put in a good effort write me a quick note. I will check in with your student in the morning and see if I can help.

Family time, playtime, activities are all important to me as a mom and a teacher. Homework should not be the cause of stress and disruption in your home, so please do not hesitate to contact me if homework time is a battle.

Additionally, if you want your child to have more homework or challenge let me know and I will assign more work for them.
