Homework Guidelines Homework compliments our school program and class goals. Homework activities vary as teachers interpret and respond to the individual needs of their students in many ways. An example of this is giving homework that is an extension of skills learned during school hours. This might involve the completion of work assignments, studying for tests, and/or enrichment and reinforcement activities based upon the individual needs of students. The suggested ranges of time for homework are based on the child's grade:
Kindergarten: 10-15 minutes 3X's per week which is usally reading.
Grade 1: 15-20 minutes per evening
Grade 2: 20-30 minutes per evening
Grade 3: 30-40 minutes per evening
Grade 4: 40-60 minutes per evening
Homework should be considered a priority. Please set aside a time every day for either homework or school related activities such as practicing math facts, reading, and spelling. Provide a suitable distraction free environment. Help when necessary. Look over assignments as a reflection of your interest, and praise positive efforts to produce quality work. If your child experiences difficulty in the homework assignment, please notify the teacher.
Homework is the student's responsibility. This is one way for us to help the students learn to take responsibility for their education and develop life-long strategies and attitudes for success. The return of library books on time, bringing in sneakers, musical instruments, assignment books, and Friday Folders are also homework assignments.
