HOMEWORK POLICY

Generally, homework will be assigned every night, Monday through Friday. However, there may be times when the students will not have homework, but they will have it more times than not. I strongly believe that homework is a valuable tool in helping students make the most of their school experience. The homework I assign will reinforce what the students have learned in class. All homework will be checked and returned as soon as possible. It is important that ALL missing assignments are made up. Completion of homework is included on your child’s report card.

Listed below is an idea of what to expect your child to bring home on a regular basis:

MATH: a practice worksheet that accompanies the lesson taught that day

READING: Please make sure that your child is reading at least 15 to 20 minutes each
night. Your child will bring books home to read, so please be supportive and encouraging. These books will be brought home in plastic bags and must be brought back the next day. Also, please make sure your child studies the high-frequency words every night. New words will be sent home approximately once a week.

SPELLING: 

Monday-Your child will bring home a list of the current week’s spelling words. Please read and spell each word with your child.

Tuesday-Your child will bring home a double-sided workbook page. Please help your child complete the front and back. This is due on Wednesday.

Wednesday-Your child will bring home a different double-sided workbook page. Please help your child complete both sides. This is due on Thursday.

Thursday-Please give your child a “practice” spelling test at home to help prepare for Friday’s spelling test. If your child misspells any of the words, make sure he/she studies those words and learns how to spell them correctly.

Friday-SPELLING TEST in class!!              

Please provide your child with the necessary supplies needed to complete these tasks. Supplies needed will be crayons, sharpened pencils, scissors, and a glue stick.
Making homework a top priority will reinforce to your child the importance of their education. Please help your child if additional instruction is needed, but do not complete the assignment for your child. Be supportive and offer verbal praise.

**Your child will have a “Weekly Homework Assignment Sheet” stapled onto his/her take home folder every Monday. This sheet is to stay in your child’s folder for the entire week. Homework for each day will be noted. A parent/guardian’s signature is also required each day on this sheet. Your signature will indicate:

1. You are aware of your child’s homework assignments each night.
2. You have read with your child for at least 15-20 minutes per night.

I will remove this sheet first thing every Monday morning and replace it with a new one for the week.

If you ever have any questions regarding the homework, please feel free to call me: (708)449-3424. This is my personal telephone mailbox, so just leave me a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Ms. Dubson
