Rationale for assigning homework:

Homework is important because it teaches responsibility and helps students develop good study habits.  In addition, homework helps to reinforce lessons that have been learned in class, and helps prepare students for upcoming lessons and tests.

Homework Expectations:

Usually, homework should take around 30-45 minutes a night.  This includes time spent studying spelling and studying math facts.  In addition, your child will need to set aside time each week for at-home reading.

Please encourage your child to do his/her best work.  Homework should be neat.  All written work should be done in pencil.  Homework will not be accepted if written in pen, crayon, marker, etc.  When completing work on notebook paper, the heading should include name & classroom number, date, subject, and the page number of the assignment.

If homework is not assigned, your child should still spend some time reading, studying spelling, and studying math facts.

What if a student doesn't know the homework assignment?

Homework assignments are written on the board each day, and ample time is given to write assignments in assignment notebook.  In addition, I always go over the homework assignments and remind the students what they need to bring home.  There is no excuse for a student not knowing the homework assignment, or for not having the proper supplies at home to complete it.

Suggestion:  Find a room buddy you can call just in case!!!

Exceptions for turning in late homework:

If for some reason (sickness, emergencies, etc.) a student is unable to complete homework, please write a note, and the assignment will be excused until the next day or longer if needed.  However, please do not write a note asking for more time to complete homework if the reason is due to lack of materials, or because your child did not write down the assignment.  Please remember, this will hurt your child in the long run because it sends a message that it is okay to not be responsible for school work.
