No homework the first week!
Homework is assigned weekly, glued into your child's black and white
composition book. It includes daily practice reading, math "home links", and
other brief language arts, social studies, or science assignments.
Homework books should be brought to school each day, though if you forget them
or are too busy to do homework occasionally, don't worry!
Each Friday children who have done any homework that week will get a sticker
and recognition.
The goal is for homework to provide reinforcement, practice, and connect home
and school. If homework becomes a sad time, a struggle, or too
time-consuming, please let me know and we will work something out.
For children who want MORE homework, bonus homework is occasionally offered.
If not, children may always
1. Write more or put in creative writing
2. Create math problems and tell how they arrived at the solution
3. Read more and tell what they are reading
4. Bring in items of interest related to something we are studying.
If you save your child's homework book, it will show them their growth over
the course of the year!
