These are some questions that parents have frequently asked over the years:
Will my child have homework nightly?
Your child will not likely have homework for my class nightly. Many of the skills that we cover are practiced in depth in class. We also do a great deal of reading and discussing during the class period. The only homework that you will generally see your child doing is a minimal amount of spelling homework and grammar practice. You may expect your child to have homework in my class 1-2 nights a week. There will rarely, if EVER, be homework on Fridays.Back to Top

How much notice is given before a test ?
I usually announce a test a week before it is given. This gives students one full week to prepare for the test.Back to Top

Are study guides given before tests?
Generally, study guides are not given. The students should study any notes that they are given on that subject matter. This serves as their "study guide".Back to Top
