Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday in addition to reading. The length of assignment depends on the area of study. You can expect that your child will finish in about 30 minutes, but please factor in his or her working pace. Also, a minimum of 20 minutes of silent or shared (parent/child) reading is required 5 nights a week, which is recorded on the Weekly Reading Minutes Bookmark. It is your child’s responsibility to write down the assignments into the assignment notebook and show them to you so you can sign off every night that they have completed their homework, packed their binder in their backpack, and are ready to turn it in the following morning.
