Homework
Students will be expected to read each night (Monday-Thursday) and complete a short task about what they read. Students will also bring home Math homework twice a week, and may be expected to study for unit math tests by practicing similar skills at home. All homework assignments will be listed on students' "weekly Homework & Behavior" sheet. This is also where parents/guardians will initial each evening.
Are homework assignments graded?
No, homework assignments are intended for practicing new skills, thus they are not graded. I will look over homework to assess how your child is progressing with individual skills. Please encourage your child to try their best when completing homework. Parent help is welcomed, as long as students are completing the work.
What should we do if we are confused?
You may find that math skills are taught differently than the way you learned. That's okay! Feel free to show your child other ways to solve problems. Students are encouraged to solve equations using a strategy that works best for them. If you have questions about homework, feel free to message me on Bloomz, or write a note on your child's homework/behavior sheet and I will help students with any homework skills that need reviewed during extension time.
What if my child doesn't bring H.W. home?
If your child doesn't bring homework home (forgets backpack/folder or folder is empty) don't fret! Encourage your child to still complete 15 minutes of reading and orally retell key details from the story. If you have sight words or math fact flash cards at home, practice these instead. Write a note to let me know, and your child will simply complete the assignment in the morning, or for homework the following evening.
How do we study for Math tests?
Your child may bring home a partially or fully completed study guide. If it is not yet complete, please help him/her complete it accurately. To study for unit tests, create "practice problems" for your child using the study guide as an example. Change the numbers from the problem slightly and ask your child to complete the practice problems on scrap paper, a white board, or even with sidewalk chalk!
