| The purpose of homework is to reinforce skills taught in the classroom. It should not be difficult or
time consuming. In the beginning, parents should assist their children by providing a structured
time and place to do the assignments given. You should be able to fade out your level of assistance
later in the year.
Reading is always, always,always part of your homework. For the first few weeks, your child won't
have a decodable book or library book from school. Please feel free to supplement with your own
books. Reading to your child and discussing the story is also a great way to foster good
comprehension.
Homework is given Monday through Thursday. In addition to reading, one to two worksheets per
day, (one in math and one in reading/language arts) are given.
Students who do not return homework do it in study hall (held during
recess). If there is a family emergency and homework doesn't get done, let me know. I don't like to
give kids consequences for things they are not in control of.
Contact me if there are any questions or concerns.
