Homework will be connected to the topics or skills we are studying.
Many times it may be a family project so you as parents can be
directly involved with your child’s education. During home
projects we encourage parent guidance and assistance, letting
the child do the actual work because a child only gets out of
the project what they put into it. We will be encouraging critical
thinking skills and strategies with the homework your child receives.
Spelling lists will be sent home on Monday of each week along
with a reading log, math facts, and math homework. Any other important
information will be communicated through your child’s planner.
This is the teachers’ opportunity to inform parents of any
upcoming events, conferences, volunteers needs etc. All homework
will be assigned on Monday and due on Friday unless otherwise
specified. We encourage you to practice addition and subtraction
facts weekly with your child. By the end of second grade they
will be expected to have mastered the fact families up to 18.
In order to help your child succeed and gain the skills needed
for third grade, the second grade team would like to clarify a
few things regarding homework expectations.
We feel that the weekly homework that is given should accomplish
the following:
1. Allow for growth in academic areas
2. Allow for family involvement through selected projects
3. Instill a sense of responsibility in the studentWe feel it is very important in the growth of each student to
become responsible for, not only completing assignments, but also
returning them on the day that they are due. We would like for
this sense of responsibility to be developed by the end of the
year, it will help your child tremendously with the expectations
next year. Our goal is to help your child be ready.
Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions
regarding these homework expectations.
