10 Ways to Raise a READER!
REMEMBER- Homework Philosophy 1. To help your child become an active participant in his/her own learning. Homework assignments will be discussed in class the following day. Your child is responsible for listening carefully to be able to follow directions. There will be times when your child may need your assistance to dictate spelling works or reinforce the directions. Please review your child's homework nightly for accuracy and completion. We encourage you to provide a quiet space free of distractions and limit the working time to approximately 20 minutes. Work should be done in pencil with attention to best quality of writing and with the addition of color where appropriate. Please have a box of crayons, scissors, pencils and a glue stick available to your child. There will be occasions when you have a special family event or your child is ill and missed a night. Please write me a note, explaining why your child has not been able to complete his/her homework. A missed night can easily be made up.
