Classroom information

Homework Policy

 

I understand students have busy schedules; therefore, most of the homework assigned is meant to solidify the information learned in class. Every Monday, students will be given a homework checklist sheet with a folder. Homework will be given from Monday-Thursday, but will not be due until the following Monday. Everything in the homework folder should be completed and signed. Despite homework not being assigned on the weekends, students should complete any unfinished homework from that week before coming to class on Monday. 

Homework may include 

  • Reading a book or listening to a story. 

  • Practicing vocabulary words 

  • Practicing Math facts 

  • Assignment not completed at school or were absent. 

  • Worksheets 

Students are expected to have their homework completed and signed on Mondays. Failure to complete this task may lead to other consequences, such as a call home or loss of playtime. Despite young age, students need to become accustomed and familiar with turning in homework since future grades may increase the workload. If there is ever a reason that your child is unable to complete his/her homework when it is due, just write a note, and we will work something out.
