I do not assign traditional homework. Instead, I encourage parents to stay engaged with and take an interest in what their child is doing at school each day. Research consistently shows there isn't a positive correlation between homework and achievement at the elementary level — but beyond the research, my classroom is already highly structured with very little "down time" built in.
Because of that, I encourage families to use home time for rest, relaxation, reading for fun, and exploring other learning tools we simply don't have time for in class — and there are so many wonderful ones out there! Below, you'll find some of my favorites, along with other resources you might find useful at home.
