Welcome to Mrs. Horne's Second Grade

Help set up a consistent, organized place for homework to be done.

Help your child establish either a consistent schedule for completing homework or help him create a schedule each Sunday night that reflects that particular weeks activities.

Encourage, motivate, and prompt your child, but do not sit with him/her and do the homework for him/her. The purpose of the homework is for your child to practice and use what he/she has learned. If your child is consistently not able to do the homework by herself, please contact the teacher.

If your child is practicing a skill, ask him/her to tell you chich steps are easy for him/her, which are difficult, or how he/she is going to improve. If your child is doing a project, ask him/her what knowledge he/she is applying in the project. If your child is consistently unable to talk about the knowledge he/she is practicing or using, please call the teacher.

Although there might be expectations, the minutes your child should spend on homework should equal approximately 10 times his/her grade level: (2nd = 20 minutes, 3rd grade = 30 minutes, etc.)

When bedtime comes, please stop your child, even if he/she is not done.
