HOMEWORK

I seem to have confused many of you with homework. Remember, the packet I send home each month contains 'suggestions' for homework. You are free to work with your child on whatever you feel is best for your child. Use these as a guideline. The packet is designed with each work page representing one week of homework. Some parents are keeping the packet in the folder. I am able to check these pages daily. If you choose NOT to do it this way, you may send the week's page in on Friday for the whole week. This counts, too. The point is for everyone to spend a short period of time each night working with your child. (10-15 minutes!!) In addition, the nightly check-out books go home daily through the week. Please spend 5 minutes with your child reading these books. Send the book and the signed response slip back daily and they will get a new book. These books go home nightly Monday through Thursday. They do not go home on weekends.

If this is still clear as mud, just send me a note and I'll give you a call. Thanks!

New postings. Remember, I am a mom, as well as a teacher. Of course, my kids are now 23 and 20 but it hasn't been that long . . . When I saw these videos, it still struck my funnybones. I thought of all of you when I saw these!
