Homework is given to reinforce skills taught during the school day. There should never be an instance when you child tells you that the homework is new material. If he/she is having difficulty, please contact me. Perhaps they need further direction or instruction.
Generally, homework assignments should take no longer that 20 minutes. In addition your child should be reading every night. Consistent practice with reading will make reading easier for your child, and will encourage a lifelong love of reading.
You may send treats for the entire class when your child celebrates his or her birthday. Please just send a note at least two days in advance.
Invitations may not be passed out at school unless each classmate is invited or unless boys send invitations to all the boys or girls send to all the girls.
