Homework
is a necessary and integral part of the learning process. The benefits of
homework include the reinforcement of academic skills, as well as the
development of student responsibility, self-discipline, and intellectual
independence.
Students
will receive homework every night but Fridays (unless a project is due or
a test is scheduled for Monday. On Friday, students can work on their
multiplication facts, spelling words, or read. A typical night of
homework will include an assignment in Reading, Math, and one other
subject. Additionally, we ask that students read at least 20 minutes
per night. What they read is entirely up to them. The goal is to
get students reading. The more they enjoy what they are reading, the more
they will read.
Daily homework is due the day after it is
assigned (unless otherwise specified). Students absent due to
illness will be given the necessary time to make up missed assignments.
Students
in Second grade are able to work up to 20-30 minutes per day.
Contact your child’s teacher immediately if he or she is consistently
spending an excessive amount of time on homework.
