A printed copy also comes home on the first day of each school week. At the beginning of the year, homework assignments are often explained for parents and tips are sometimes included. Parents or students may call me at home for help with any homework. E-mail or call me first, so I'll know to go there.
Homework is usually reinforcement or practice for a concept or skill previously learned in class.
Less often, homework is assigned as an introductory activity for a new concept or skill. Written homework is usually assigned four times each week, on Monday through Thursday evenings. Weekend assignments will be assigned regularly after November. An optional extra credit writing assignment may also be assigned. At times, especially toward the end of the year, there may be two or more assignments on some evenings.
