Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday. Homework should take between 30 minutes to one hour to complete. The assigned activities are an extension and practice of the day's lessons. Please sign the agenda and reading log daily. Depending upon your child's independence level, s/he may require more assistance. Gradually work toward helping your child become an independent worker and seeking help as needed. Remember, homework is not expected to be perfect, but should reflect a general understanding of the practiced skill. Returning to the classroom to retrieve forgotten homework and/or supplies is discouraged. Instead your child may call a classmate to get the assignments or do an activity in place of the forgotten homework. For example, s/he may complete math assignments, work on Study Island, write sentences with spelling words, write a letter to me, or another appropriate activity. This activity will be accepted until the original assignment is completed the following night. Students will not be penalized for forgotten homework if s/he is responsible and completes an alternate activity instead.
