This year - Homework without Tears
Each night students should plan to work on homework for about 30 minutes. This should be initiated by the students and should include "No Tears!" If a student is crabby or crying, please email me to let me know and I will help you through it!
Each night, check the homework folder and assignment notebook. If there is minimal homework, spend time on math flashcards. During the first 2 - 3 months, practicing addition facts and improving speed and accuracy in this area will really help each student in the classroom. The goal would be about 10 minutes per night. I will send home some good websites that provide good math practice and that would be a good alternative.
Please let me know if there are homework struggles! Let's have a great year!
Ben had a great first day! He is really excited about third grade. Thank you for the updates.
