The Trumbull School District recommends 240 minutes per week of homework 
for 4th grade students.  This does NOT include the 20 minutes of voluntary 
reading for the F.R.E.E. calendar each night, or the BEAR Math Facts monthly 
packet. However, the more your child reads and practices math, the stronger 
they will become in these areas. We all want our children to succeed!

Here are some guidelines for helping with homework.  These tips are by Dr. 
Charles Fay, a nationally known speaker, parent, and school psychologist.  
* Set aside time each day for children to do their homework.  Parents can 
model the value of learning by reading a book at this time, too.  
*Help your child only if they really want it.  Your child's desire to 
complete their assignment alone is a very healthy indication of independence 
and responsibility.
*Focus on what your child does well. As will be discussed at Back to School 
Night,  you can let me know the level of difficulty your child may have had 
with an assignment, so that I can provide further help the next day.
*Help your child as long as they are doing most of the work.  Their self-
esteem will soar when they achieve something challenging and this will help 
lay the groundwork for them to be more prepared for the 'real world' one day.

The Cardinal Rule for Helping:
NEVER WORK HARDER THAN YOUR CHILD!
Please let me know if your child has a difficult time with the homework 
assignment.  I will meet with them first thing in the morning to review it.
