Spelling will start the second week of school as well as homework! Reading every night as well as Raz Kids is a great fill in for homework!

Tic-Tac-Tomework I am going to hand out homework on Fridays and it will be due the following Friday. It will be in a Tic-Tac-Toe format. It is called Tic-Tac-Tomework! It will have a variety of activities for the students to pick from at all learning levels. Students who want to do more will have that option. The work will all be information and activities that have already been taught in class. There should never be anything new (new information) for homework. Please do not hesitate to ask questions if you do not understand something. This is new this year so there could be some glitches. Homework is not meant to take up hours and hours of yours or your child's evenings. They have been in school all day and you might have worked all day. Enough said :) I also understand you have other things to do with other children in the evenings. I am flexible. I have children of my own so I understand. I will always let you know if there is time when homework does not come home. For example the week we leave for Winter Break homework will not come home or in April for state testing.

As in the classroom students work very well with routine. Have a certain quiet spot at home where your child can do their work. Please look over the homework for the week on Fridays and if there are any questions they can ask me on Monday of the next week, not on Friday when it is due. Thank you for your support with this. It is important for children to learn routine, accountability, and responsibility and young ages.

This is how most students feel about homework!!!
