  • Homework Suggestions

    Have a routine 
    Try to have your student complete homework at the same time in the same place. 

    Quiet and focused
    Have your student work in an area that is quiet and has very few distractions.

    Do what you can
    Homework enforces concepts taught in class, so students should be able to work out problems on their own. Have your child complete the ones that they know first on their own. Then, assist them in completing the others.  

    Know when to walk away
    If your child is having a difficult time with a problem, circle it and write me a note. I will go over that one with them in class. Homework is not supposed to frustrate the family. 

    Show your work
    Students should show their work and bring it to class. When we go over the answers and they get one incorrect, we will be able to go back and see where the mistake was made. 

    Read, Read, Read
    Students should be reading nightly for atleast 20 minutes. Reading has many benefits for a child. Read some of those reasons here on Reading by Phonics.
