    What are the Benefits of Homework 
     
          Homework usually falls into three categories: practice, preparation, or extension.  Individualized assignments tap into existing interest can be motivating.  At the elementary level, homework can help students develop study skills and habits and can keep families informed about their learning.
     
         Students will be assigned homework Monday - Friday.  Please check their  homework planner  and folder for assignments and notices.  Please sign your child's homework planner daily.Weekly homework may include math practice, vocabulary work, and reading and response log.  Homework is expected to return the next day.  Please inform me if there are any questions or difficulties by writing me a note in their homework folder.  Please sign your child's planner daily.  
     
     
    Students should read a "just right' book that will hold their interest.  Please browse throughout the book list and find a book that's at your independent reading level.  If you are not sure what your independent reading level, please see me.  I can give you a reading level or sit with you to help you find a book.
