| We will not have homework for the last two weeks prior to the Christmas break |
| Homework is an important part of your child's overall learning experience. By working with your child each night, you help to establish the routines and habits that will benefit your child for years to come! It is very important that children develop good study habits. By establishing a homework routine in the early grades, children will be better prepared for the demands of the secondary grades. As we begin to establish those routines, I ask you to help your child by: 1. Reading with / to your child each night. Then record the book or story on the book log. 2. Check your child's folder each night. Let your child see you place money and notes in the binder so that he / she learns that the binder is an important communication link between home and school. 3. Review work that is sent home. Talk with your child about what he / she is learning. I often write "Please practice at home." on work for which your child had difficulty. Please try to review any concepts that may be difficult for your child. . |
