Your child will most likely have homework Monday through Thursday. Math, Reading, Spelling, and Language Arts activities will be the norm. Additionally, reading 20 minutes nightly will also expected. Homework should not take more than 30-40 minutes to complete each night. 7:30 to 2:30 is a long academic day for any second grader. Homework should be a great review and enrichment of our classroom activities. Please let me know if your child is struggling to complete their assigned homework within the 30 minute time frame. I can pull them aside for small group or one-on-one time if they do not comprehend their assigned homework. The only weekend homework your child may receive is if they do not finish assignments they did not complete that week. I send home any unfinished work on Friday afternoons to be returned on Monday morning. Weekly Spelling rules and the bonus words will be posted on this site as well. Click on the SMART Spelling icon. Use this site if you should misplace the words that will be written by your child in their agenda Friday or Monday afternoon. Homework assignments should be written by your child each day into their agenda. I try my best to work with your child throughout the year on their organizational skills. I consider "cleaning out the homework folder" as part of your child's nightly homework assignment. This will keep your child organized and responsible for their things throughout the week and will ease your responsibility factor as well.
