Purpose: Independent practice
15 – 20 minutes per subject (may vary from student to student)
Timers may be helpful for time management issues
You are encouraged to have a homework routine
A comfortable workspace
A quiet area
A regular time/plan for completing homework (I realize this is not always possible with extra- curricular activities)
Trying it on your own before asking for help
Re-read directions
Ask yourself “what am I being asked to do?”
Look back at previous assignments (this may help you or help you remember what to do.
Last step: Go to an adult and ask for help with clarifying.
For Parents/Guardians
AVOID a “Meltdown” at all costs. It is not worth it!
If your child hits the “MELTDOWN” point close the books and folders. Send me a brief note and have your child come and let me know they need help first thing in the morning. I am always happy to help them!
Late or Missed homework
You will receive a homework slip that must be signed by you and your parent/guardian. You must return the homework slip and the completed assignment the next day. If it is not returned you will complete the homework during recess.
Homework assignments are posted on the homework board and Google classroom daily.
Math homework sheets can be accessed online from our textbook website.
