Homework will be sent home nightly in your child’s Homework Folder. It is very important to check your child’s folder daily as it will be used for all communication.
Homework is assigned Monday-Thursday and is due back the next school day. It will be typically be two worksheets: one ELA (English/Language Arts) and one math. The homework should take your child about 5-10 minutes to complete. In the beginning of the year, it may take a little longer as your child gets used to the routine of homework.
Homework is not graded. I use it to assess how well your child understands a certain subject. That information tells me how to best teach your child in class; whether we need to review or if we can move on to new topics. If your child makes mistakes, please do not correct them. I’m not looking for perfect answers. It is much more valuable for me to see the errors so I know how to fix them. Feel free to write me a note explaining any struggles or confusion.
In addition to assigned homework, please read and write with your child for at least 20 minutes every day.
