| Homework is a very worthwhile part of your child's day and it is very important to his or her success in school. We use it as a way to review and practice important skills learned in the classroom. Homework encourages responsibility and should not be viewed as a punishment but as a way to help your child succeed in school. One way to teach responsibility is by expecting your child to complete homework. Homework is normally assigned Monday - Thursday. I usually do not assign homework on Fridays. It should take students no more than 15 to 20 minutes to complete each night,
Parents, you are the key to making homework a positive experience for your child. Some ways parents can help their child with homework are: Have a specific time each day to complete homework. Make sure it is in a quiet, comfortable, well-lit place. Make sure there are no distractions (music playing, TV blaring. Help your child, but do not do their homework for them.
