Homework
Reading:
Students are expected to read with an adult for 20 minutes each night. Every Friday a set of reading questions will come home. Students are expected to answer ONLY ONE of these questions and return it by the following Friday. This allows me to get to know your child as a reader. Students should still be reading every night, regardless of if they have already answered a question for the week.
Math:
Your child will also have math homework 1-2 nights a week. This is due the following day. The activities will help students to practice skills that have been introduced in the classroom.
General Homework Information:
Homework assignments should take 2nd grade students a maximum of 20 minutes each night. Students should also be reading for an additional 20 minutes each night. If your child struggles with an assignment or is unable to finish it, please write a note on the assignment. Please contact me if your child is frequently having difficulty completing their homework within the recommended maximum time of 20 minutes.
If a student does not complete a homework assignment, they will need to make up that assignment and a note will be sent home. Please encourage your child to be responsible for his/her homework by reminding them to complete homework each day and pack their completed homework each night.
By supporting your child with their homework, you are helping them to be successful in school. Your involvement in your child’s education is very important. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by email at [email protected], or send a note in their school-to-home folder.
