Homework is very important for your child. You should designate a specific place and time to complete homework daily (ie the kitchen table right after school or at a desk). The work assigned will reinforce the work completed in school and will serve as a tool to help you establish a routine for completing homework for the next 12 years. Homework completion is taken into account when grading at the end of the marking period. ++++++Please read to you child nightly. Please be sure you child is in bed by 7:30 or 8pm every night. Children at this age require a lot of sleep. Sleep deprivation can be misdiagnosed as a learning problem and makes it difficult for the child to concentrate during the school day. Please eat breakfast.+++++
