Homework is a great benefit and opportunity for children. It is not for new concepts, it is to strengthen and reinforce classroom skills that have been introduced on the road to mastery. Homework is essential for establishing study skills, routines, and time management skills. Students who complete homework at home each night have been proven to be more successful in the classroom. Please check your child’s homework for accuracy and sign the homework sheet each night.

• Daily behavior sheets
• Homework assignments
• Weekly newsletters

After School

Allow for decompression time after school before completing homework. Here are some great questions to ask on the car ride home:

• What was the best thing that happened today?
• What challenged you today?
•  Tell me something that you learned?
•  What was your highlight of the day?
•  Tell me about the craft you made?
•  What was the nicest thing you did for someone else today?

Guidelines to Help!

• Time to start- Decompression time
• Set a scheduled time (suggestion time 4:30 pm)
• A place to complete assignments
• A list of materials needed to complete assignments (pencils, paper, crayons, computer, etc.)
• Check all homework that has been already completed at school
