Homework

Peek at the Week:
Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday during a normal school week. I would like to take this opportunity to stress the importance of homework. The work assigned is directly related to, and reinforces the skills that your child will learn during school. Homework teaches responsibility, builds independence, and helps to reinforce curriculum for your child.
You will receive a PEEK AT THE WEEK newsletter at the beginning of each school week. This newsletter will contain important reminders, homework assignments and information about the skills and topics your child will be learning for the week. My suggestion is that you hang it in an obvious place, such as your refrigerator, and refer to it during the week.


Homework
What is it about homework
That makes me want to write
My Great Aunt Myrt to thank her for
The sweater that's too tight?

What is it about homework
That makes me pick up socks
That stink from days and days of wear
Then clean the litter box?

What is it about homework
That makes me volunteer
To take the garbage out before
The bugs and flies appear?

What is it about homework
That makes me wash my hair
And take an hour combing out
The snags and tangles there?

What is it about homework?
You know, I wish I knew,
'Cause nights when I've got homework
I've got much too much to do!
