HOMEWORK
Thank you for
helping your children. Homework will be sent home on
Mondays. If there is no school on Mondays, homework will be sent home on
Tuesdays. The children will do their
English homework on Monday and Wednesday.
The Spanish homework will be done on Tuesday and Thursday. If your child is absent over an extended
period, please pick up the packet from me, ready on Mondays. We will give your
child up to the following Monday to turn it in.
Our schedule this

HOMEWORK
TIPS:
1. Take out the homework packet for
the week from the binder and leave it at home. The children do not need to take
them to school every day until Friday, when it is time to submit the packet
unless they go to after school care and you want them to do their homework
there.
2. Homework is graded on the
following criteria:
a. Correct answers
b. Neatness
c. Timely submission
d. Following directions
3. Make sure your child
writes his/her full (first and last)
name on the front of the packet.
Please continue practicing with your child how to write their name. We still have some who says that they are
unable to do so.
4.
Use RED pencil tracing; REGULAR pencil
for writing; and CRAYONS for coloring. Do not use markers for coloring because they
bleed and makes the paper look messy.
Keep
the packet stapled, in the same order
in which it was sent.
5.
Timely submission is part of their grade. So please be conscientious
in sending your child’s homework at all times.
For every day a student is late in
submitting homework, a half-point will be deducted from the grade. The student
will receive a grade of zero if homework is not submitted. We will allot extra
time for completion if the student was absent due to illness, family travel, or
any other unusual circumstances, on a case by case basis. If, however, after
the extra time, the homework is not submitted, the student will receive a grade
of zero.
6. Thank you so much for
helping your child clean up his/her binder by removing finished school work
that was sent home. They are doing well
in practicing their organizational skill, something they will need their whole
life.
