*Your child will have homework Monday-Thursday. Assigned homework could
include worksheets to review skills that have been learned, weekly spelling
lists, etc. Your child is responsible for bringing home the assignment,
complete it with a parent’s guidance, and then return it. The assignments
given should take 20-30 minutes to complete. Always check your child’s work
and sign their homework sheet. Unless otherwise specified, homework is due
the following school day. Parents often wonder, “Should I correct my child’s
mistakes? How will the teacher know he/she is having a problem?” My advice
is, yes, point out the mistakes to your child in a gentle way, and use that
opportunity to reteach and clarify the skill. If you would like me to know
about a particular problem area, jot it down on the homework, and I’ll respond
as soon as possible.
*Remember to return the Friday folder to school on Monday.
******Please make sure that you are reading with your child every night. There
needs to be 15 - 20 minutes of reading a night. Reading books will be brought
home that your child is working on in class. This book should be read nightly
and brought to school each day.
