HOMEWORK HABITS
Why do I assign Homework? I believe homework is important because it helps
reinforce what has been learned in class, prepare students for upcoming
lessons, teaches responsibility, and helps students develop positive study
habits.
When will Homework be assigned? I will assign homework for each night,
Monday through Thursday. Every Monday a homework sheet with the weekly
homework assignments will be sent home. Assignments should take no more than
about 20 minutes each night.
If homework is a struggle at home, more than likely, it is a sign of
struggling in school. Please let me know when there is a problem.
What are your child’s Homework responsibilities?
I expect students to do their best job on each homework assignment. I expect
homework to be NEAT, not sloppy. All written work should be done in
pencil. I expect homework assignments to be completed and returned to
school the next day.I will check homework every morning.
What are the parent’s Homework responsibilities?
Parents are they key to making homework a positive experience for their
children. Therefore, I ask that parents make homework a priority at home,
provide necessary supplies, and a quiet homework environment. Please set
aside a time every day when homework should be completed. This should be a
time for your child to show you what he or she is learning in school.It
should be a positive time.
What about TESTS? Students will be given weekly tests and other types of
evaluation,such as rubrics and checklist to monitor progress. Students will
have a VIP Folder (Very Important Papers) sent home each Tuesday.
The VIP Folder is for parents to view, monitor, and reinforce achievement
with Graded Papers and a Work Habits grade for the week.This should be
signed and sent back to school the next day.
