I do not assign much homework with no homework on the weekends. I
believe students need a break from school on those days. I expect
homework to be completed and on time. It's important to have extra
practice outside of the school to help retain information and to grow in
the content standards that I teach.
10 Ways to Help Your Child with Homework
1. Let your child know that homework is important and valuable.
2. Set a regular time each day for homework, allowing some time to unwind
after school before getting started.
3. Be sure your child has all essentials, such as papers, books, school
notebooks, and pencils.
4. Help your child get organized by providing folders for papers and a
calendar and/or assignment book.
5. Have a quiet, clean, and well-lit place to study, with comfortable chair.
Keep all schoolwork there.
6. Discourage distractions, including TV, during study time. Allow study
breaks at intervals.
7. Be available to answer questions or help quiz you child, but keep
homework as his or her respnsibility to complete.
8. Spot check homework when it's completed, but don't correct assignments
unless the teacher has asked you to.
9. Read any comments the teacher has made on returned assignments.
10. If a homework problem arises, contact the teacher for clarification.
