Online Resources

I do not provide traditional homework. I typically encourage parents to engage with and take an interest in what their children are doing at school. There are many studies which show that in elementary school, there is not positive correlation between homework and achievement. Outside of the research, my classroom is highly structured and leaves minimal 'down time'. I encourage students to use home time for rest, relaxation, reading for fun, and other learning tools that we don't have the chance to use in class. THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE! Some of those tools are listed below along with other resources parents can utilize at home.
