If your child is consistently not able to do the homework by herself, please contact the teacher. If your child is practicing a skill, ask him to tell you which steps are easy for him, which are difficult, or how he is going to improve. If your child is doing a project, ask him what knowledge he is applying in the project. If your child is consistently unable to talk about the knowledge he is practicing or using, please call the teacher. When bedtime comes, please stop your child, even if he is not done.
Homework provides an excellent opportunity to extend learning past the school day.
Teachers and parents can join together to support students as they refine and extend their knowledge.
