Homework is very important at all grade levels. In fifth grade you can expect that your child will have homework in math and spelling every night except Friday. Notes from social studies and science should be reviewed each evening . Setting a certain time and place for homework helps to develop good study habits. Please check your child s planner daily.
Organization is a very important part of school success.
