Class Homework
Homework will be assigned by the teacher and given a specific date it is due. I will check for homework daily. I prefer to not give homework on Fridays or over long holidays, however, some projects assigned throughout the school year may require students to work at school and home. If they manage their time wisely during the week this may lessen the amount of time spent at home on school projects. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have ahead of time if at all possible, however, I am always here to help in any way I am able to best further your child's education.
