Aside from a regular reading routine at home, completing the assigned monthly homework packet should take your child no more than 20 minutes/day to complete. Math homework will simply reinforce what we are learning at school with a math sheet or a review of math facts. Word Study homework will reinforce the word patterns we are currently studying. If you feel the homework is taking your child too long to complete or they are struggling with any of the learning concepts, please let me know. ~It is important to me that homework does not cause your child to become discouraged towards learning, as I want to see all of my students develop a positive outlook on learning. ~It is VERY important to me that your child has time to play outside each day and be a kid!
I hope that this homework schedule instills a joy for learning in your child as they practice and show off their skills at home, as well as develop early self-management skills that create a disciplined and balanced routine of work and play!
