Success doesn't come from what you do occasionally.
It comes from what you do consistently.
Homework is a vital part of your child’s education. It is not given as “busy work.” It is given to review and reinforce concepts and skills that were learned in class. If it is given, it is necessary, and your child is expected to complete it on time.
Besides reinforcing important concepts and skills, it also teaches your child to work independently and take responsibility for their own work in addition to organizational and time-management skills. Homework also helps me evaluate your child’s progress.
The homework is a review of what we learned that day. Homework will be due the following school day unless another date has been specified. Math homework will be assigned daily. Language Arts (Superkids reading) assignments to expect will be a spelling list with homework, daily decodeable stories, and/or a weekly fluency story.
Homework counts toward your child’s grade, and all homework needs to be completed and turned in on time to receive full credit. I keep a record of complete and incomplete assignments. If your child fails to return homework on the day it is due, he/she will receive no credit for the assignment and complete it at recess. If your child misses 3 homework assignments in one subject during a marking period, I will contact you. Fuzzies can be earned for homework that is returned on time!
Please remember that the homework is for your child, not you. If the homework looks like it has been completed by someone other than your child, he/she will redo the homework at recess time and receive no credit for this work.
Homework assignments will be posted on my website daily, except in the event of teacher absence, sickness, or technology failure.
Your child is also responsible for making up missed class work and homework assignments due to absence. Assignments that cannot be completed at home may be made up during recess or special class time.
