Stay-Tuned: Ask your child what he or she is studying, and look in the Take Home folder and agenda book every night. The Take Home folder is where you will find newsletters and notes that are sent home, as well as any homework that needs to be completed. One side of the folder is reserved for papers that are to be signed and returned, such as tests and quizzes, and the other side is for papers that can stay at home. I will also send home progress reports or make phone calls if I feel that your child is not progressing as expected. All homework assignments will be written in the agenda book/planner.
Ask Questions: If you have any concerns or are wondering why something is happening, please feel free to call or email me at any time. My phone number at Kindle is 589-2628 x5201. I welcome all concerns, ideas, and feedback that affect your child or our classroom. If something is not working, I am more than willing to talk.
Homework: You should expect that your child will have some type of homework Monday-Thursday. Homework assignments should take no more than 40 minutes for the students to complete. I review the assignments during the day with the class and try to ensure students have all required materials. I encourage you to set up with your child a scheduled time for homework each day. Students should be able to do most assignments independently, but do help if it is completely necessary. If you notice that your child is not able to do an assignment on his or her own, please send a note or jot a note to me on the assignment. I will contact you if your child is falling behind or turning in poor work.
