NOTE: Homework will not be starting until the week of Sept. 16th - I would like to wait until after Meet the Teacher night!
Homework will be assigned Monday to Thursdays only, no homework Fridays or on weekends unless there are special circumstances. Your child will take home their homework bag each night. Please ensure you check this bag each night as I will also use this bag to send home any important information/notes. I will also check this homework bag each day for any important information or notes you may send to me! The majority of our homework consists of reading and your child sharing/celebrating their work with you. I view homework as a chance for you to be involved and up to date on your child's learning. If homework is ever a issue, please contact me immediately so we can work on a plan that works for you. Please note that nightly homework should never exceed more than ten minutes!

Here are some helpful homework tips:
- Find a quiet spot that is free of distractions and clutter.
- Set up a homework schedule – set aside a specific time each night for homework so that it becomes a regular routine.
- Quit before it becomes frustrating - if your child becomes discouraged or frustrated when doing homework then try taking a break and returning at a later time. If homework is a "battle" at home, please let me know and we will work together to problem solve.
- Homework is meant to be a rehearsal of what was already learned in class. All songs, words and readings have been taught in class. If your child has difficulty with the readings and words, please contact me and we can discuss what can be done to help.
