Welcome to Room 2 Homework Club

is expected to read each night. Your student is also expected to complete one
math page each week. This math skill will reflect the skill we are working
on.
Research finding related to homework support limited homework and for
homework to have purpose. Your student may do optional homework if you feel
you would like more practice. Remember, your student has been working hard
for a total of 6 hours everyday. I don't feel it is necessary for longer
homework. I do support quality time with family. If you have any questions
please email me and we may talk further.
