The purpose of homework is to reinforce/practice skills taught in class and develop a greater sense of responsibility.
Second graders are encouraged to be independent and responsible. All assignments are written in their planner each day and must be signed by a parent each night.
The planner is a great source of communication for the parent and teacher. If a parent would like to write a brief note to the teacher regarding a homework (or other) concern, there is a side column to do so in. In addition, the teacher may also write a note to a parent in this section.
If homework cannot be completed on time, a written explanation from a parent or guardian is required. If a homework item has been lost, please notify us as soon as possible.
Students are expected to D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything And Read) for fifteen minutes each night and complete the homework assignments given daily. Homework should generally take between than 30 - 45 minutes.
