Let's Try to Clarify Homework

I know that there is still some confusion about homework....when does it come to school? In what folder? Let me try to help.

• The purpose of homework is two-fold: (1) to provide responsibility to the girls each night and (2) to be a tool for parents to extend classroom learning at home providing meaningful activities. It is NEVER meant to be frustrating or a burden.
• Reading and discussing what is read each day is the most important part!
• Homework travels to and from school in the RED folder on the first day of each week.
• On the first Monday of the month, a monthly homework calendar will come home. It should stay at home until the end of the month. Please complete the activities at your leisure and check them when complete.
• Activities that should be returned in the clear folder for special assignments will be clearly marked on the calendar. Otherwise do not return homework in the clear folder.
• Math homelinks will come home as we reach the coordinating lesson in the weekly homework supplement. They can be completed at anytime in that week.
• If you have further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!
