Homework is a vital part of each student's learning. It helps to reinforce the concepts taught in class, develop good study habits, and responsibility to be a good student. The homework is mostly a follow up from what has been taught in class. Homework is to be done neatly and carefully. I strongly encourage you to check over your child's homework for understanding and reinforcement before your child brings it back to school. This is such a noticeable self-esteem boost for your child. Please let me know if homework gets to be too difficult or overwhelming for your child. Feel free to write any questions or concerns you may have on his/her homework paper or in the assignment book. Please remember, parents are teachers, too! Your child will be bringing his/her assignment book home each night. A parent must sign his/her name or initial the page. Please make sure that you have checked to see if your child has completed her/his homework BEFORE you sign the assignment book. Encourage your child to help be responsible in obtaining your signature or initials for his/her assignment book. Your child should have a pencil or pen right there for you to be ready to sign. I check each day for your signature or initials. Thank you!
