A Few Thoughts About Homework small medium large Homework Packets will be distributed every week on Friday and due the following Thursday morning. This should give your Professional Learner ample opportunity to complete all of the assignments to the best of their ability. Parents: Please help your child plan their homework schedule based upon your family calendar. Some Professional Learners do 20 minutes a day until the packet is complete, and others prefer to do all of the assignments in larger blocks of time and finish up earlier in the week. Either schedule is an effective way to help meet the learning objectives of the homework packet. We do NOT recommend having your Professional Learner wait until the night before it is due. Our philosophy on homework in our community is that homework has many objectives. One of the most important is that it should function as a vehicle to help children assume more responsibility for their educational career. The homework material is either a review of content previously covered in the classroom or an extension of classroom content. Your child should be able to do all of the assignments independently, without constant supervision and support. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's homework content, please do not hesitate to ask. We are partners in your child's education and need your insight and valuable feedback. Below is an example of an average weekly fourth grade homework packet. Homework for the week of May 7th Due Thursday, May 13th Science: Use the Study Guide to review for the Energy unit test next week Social Studies: Read this week's issue of T.F.K. and complete the worksheet Math: 10 Computation problems, solved two ways Spelling: Complete the "What Looks Right?" worksheet Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
