Homework is a valuable tool to reinforce classroom learning.
It can strengthen the ties between home and school, and provide
opportunities for students to develop time management and organizational
skills.
STUDENTS are responsible for completing daily homework assignments. I expect
all assignments to be turned in on time. Please encourage your child to be
responsible when it comes to homework.
Students should spend about 30 to 40 minutes on homework, not including
daily reading time. If it takes your child much longer than this, we might
need to look at the time management and organizational skills they are using
in class.
Students will be given a weekly Home Reading Log in which they are to record
their nightly reading. Each week's time should total up to no less than 100
minutes. These are due on Monday morning and should reflect the previous
week's reading. Home Reading Logs are very important and should be turned in
complete and on time each Monday. Reading logs will be accepted no later
than Tuesday morning.
Homework will be assigned three nights a week. Again, this does not
include DAILY reading. Occasionally special projects or assignments may be
also assigned. Students that turn 100% of their homework ON TIME will become
members of the 100% Homework Club.
