Homework is a very worthwhile part of your child's day and it is very important to his/her success in first grade.  Your child's homework is a review and additional practice of the important skills that have been introduced in class.

Your child's homework should encourage responsibility and should not be viewed as a punishment.  Contrary, it is a way to help your child succeed in school.  One way to teach responsibility is by expecting your child to complete homework and return it to school in their folder.

Homework is usually assigned Monday - Thursday.  I usually do not assign homework on Fridays (except for the new week's spelling and dictation).  It should take students no more than 15 to 20 minutes to complete each night, and an additional 15 minutes to read and practice their coding skills.

Parents, you are the key to making homework a positive experience for your child.  So please, make it a priority, provide the necessary supplies, and a quiet learning environment.  If you have any problems you may call me at school before 4:00 p.m. or email me anytime.
