Homework

It is very important that your child complete his/her homework each night. If your child chooses not to do the homework, please do not sign the sheet. Also, please help to remind your child that the homework sheet must be signed and returned each day. He or she is responsible for doing this, but may forget.

There will be nights where completing homework is just not an option; ski club nights, late soccer games, family visits, etc. On these occasions please try to write a short explanation (“soccer game”, “family night”, etc.) on the homework sheet and I will be happy to stamp it.

For Reading I have the children copy “Read 10 min.” (15 and 20 min. later in the year). Please just have them read a chapter of a chapter book (if they are into that) or picture book to you or someone else, the actual time is not critical! If you choose to have them read more, that would be great. You make the call!

        The most important reasons behind the homework are to have them be responsible for bringing things back and forth to school and to spend family time at home practicing their reading and other school skills.

If a parent isn’t available to do homework I have instructed the class to find someone who is available and responsible to sign the sheet. This can, by all means, be a grandparent, older sibling, baby-sitter, family member, or even family friend/neighbor.

If you ever have any questions or concerns about an assignment I send home please write me a note on the homework sheet, call me here at school, or call me at home (889-2051).
