The entire team looks forward to the continuation of a positive year spent with some wonderful students. The fact is homework should be and can be a positive experience - with a purpose. First and foremost, homework gives children a chance to learn how to work independently. Homework also gives students an opportunity to review information and practice newly learned skills without taking up classroom time. That's particularly important for children who need extra time to learn.
Quick learners can use extra homework time for special interest projects.
Homework struggles between parents and children often occur because parents forget one important fact of life. Also, children sometimes feel overwhelmed and angry when their parents rush in too quickly and offer too much advice and help. The goal of becoming involved in your child's homework is to help him or her feel competent and independent. Try, at these times, to remind your child of past successes - proving that he or she is capable of good work. Sometimes a break is required to restore confidence.
