Blue Homework Folders Start Today!

Homework Folders

     Homework Folders go home every Monday (except for short weeks) and they are due back by Friday. I give your child a week to complete the work because I realize how busy families are with after school activities and our busy, hectic lives. Some children need several sittings to get the work done. Especially, children who have extra work in their folder that they haven't completed at school or work they missed when absent from school. PLEASE help your child each week to complete his or her homework by keeping these hints in mind.

1. Make homework a priority. Make a plan with your child to complete all the work in the blue folder.

2. Help your child find a quiet, clean spot to do his or her work. Have your child use a pencil, so mistakes can be erased easily. 

3. Read over the homework with your child. Be sure he or she READS the directions and completes ALL the work.

4. Go over any mistakes and have your child redo errors. Corrections can be done in pen, so that it is clear that help was given in finding errors.

5. Have a high expectation for your child. Tell him or her that you expect him or her to do his or her best on the work. Expect and ask for neatness and complete work. 

These early expectations will set up your child for homework success in future years. Your support is imperative! Thanks!

SUMDOG passwords are on the inside flap of the folders. This is a great way for kids to get extra math practice.
