Homework
Homework will consist of a combination of Math and Language Arts. Language Arts will have story to read and than a follow up of questions that is designed to test comprehension. The Math will simply be a page of review of what the students have learned that week as well as a review of something they have learned that year.
Students that do not get their homework done will need to finish it during their personal time at school this usually means they will have to stay in during recess. I would like to stress that the homework will not be too difficult. I recognize and encourage the fact that these kids need to go out and have fun and play. I know however, that it is easy for students to forget what they are taught so homework will simply be a way for students to retain the knowledge that they have received a little be longer.
An additional 30 minutes should be dedicated to reading. Parents please allow your child to develop a habit of reading by letting your child read to you or themselves everyday. Reading allows students to increase their vocabulary, they get better at spelling their words because they are more familiar with them, and they learn to enjoy it as well. Please encourage your children to read.
