I believe that kids need to have time to be with their families, participate in extra curricular activities, and just get to have fun and be kids. They are at school having to sit, focus, and learn for so long that when they get home, they are usually tired, hungry, and just ready to be a kid. Therefore homework in my classroom is optional. Each week I will send home spelling (Letterland) activities and math activities. Please feel free to have your child complete them if they have time. If at any point during the year I feel they do need extra practice at home, I will let you know.
The absolute best thing you can do at home to help your child be successful to read to them and have them read to you. If your child brings home a book in their Monster Reading bag, they should read it to you that night. It is a book we have already read together in class.
