I assign homework because of its' importance of reinforcing learned material. Reading/spelling words are presented each Monday with a quiz given each Friday, unless prior notices are given. The students will be checked for knowledge of the words as well as their proper spelling. Math sheets are usually given Monday to Thursday and are a review of what was covered in class. Homework should not take more than 30 minutes, and students work is checked regularly. I do expect the students to be neat and do as much work on their own as possible. If a parent needs to assist, please write me a note telling me so. Parents are key to making homework a positive experience: make it a priority, provide an area where it can be done each day, provide praise and support, contact me if there are any problems.
