At the Unit C level, students should be responsible for getting the assignment home and returning it to school. They also have the opportunity to meet long term deadlines and to learn to organize their time to complete a project by a specific date. Unit B students will have homework assigned occasionally. Homework activities might include math work extensions, reading assignments, and independent work. All students should spend quiet time reading by themselves and with a parent at home daily.
Different families have different expectations regarding homework.
The teachers are more than willing to discuss the needs of your child and offer ideas for home activities. Over the years, we have had specific family learning nights in math and science. The display case can be used for this purpose as well. The children feel better and work better after a little fresh air and exercise. If a child is recovering from an illness and needs to stay inside for one or two days, please send a note to this effect, and they will be allowed to remain inside the building.
