Homework

Dear Parents,
Your child started Homework last Monday. Most of the children were okay with the homework. A couple of the children were a little overwhelmed by the work. Homework has a definite place in the educational process. It is an extension of the learning experience children have during the instructional day. Homework is designed to aid the students in achieving classroom and school goals.

When your child has homework please look it over with your child. Show genuine interest in the work. Instruct your child to complete homework as early in the afternoon or evening as possible. Insist that homework be done away from the television and other disstractions. Take an active interest in your child's schoolwork. Assist your child when he/she has trouble understanding something, try to help. Lastly, when your child brings home their Reader or Small Reader, read with your child. Discuss what your child has read.
All of the above suggestions are ways you can help to support your child's education at home.
As always, I appreciate your support.
