Homework is an important part of your student's education. It provides
additional practice, as well as enrichment of skills that have been covered
in class. Your child will receive homework each school day, Monday-Thursday.
If your child is absent he/she will have 2 days to complete the missed
assignments for each day of absence. That should give your student plenty of
time to complete the current homework as well as the missed assignments. Your
child will be responsible for copying his/her daily assignment each day in
their Student Planner. When they have completed the assignment for the day,
please check it over for completeness and correctness. Then sign the Student
Planner at the bottom of the page for the day. It may seem silly that you
check for correctness, but I have found that "Practice Makes Permanent"
only "Perfect Practice Makes Perfect". If your child is having a difficulty
with a educational concept and they practice it wrong for 20 problems, they
have just put it into their brain, incorrectly 20 times. Then it takes a lot
more practice to undo what they have learned.
Please try to make sure that your child has a quiet place to complete
homework with a good supply of crayons and pencils. All homework should be
completed in pencil unless otherwise stated.
