Daily homework officially started this week. Students should be completing this homework in their GREEN workbook. (For grade 2-5 parents you can mention that the routine will be the same so that you don’t have to spend too much time elaborating on it.) *Homework assignments are meant to be given as EXTRA practise. So, homework will not be used as an academic report card mark. *This book will be brought home every day (Monday through Thursday) to complete the homework at home. Your child should return this book by Friday morning. *Remembering to bring the daily workbook every day and doing homework every night will teach your children key learning skills like responsibility and initiative. We hope as the semester goes on, your child can learn this routine independently. *In cases where your child struggles to complete the homework, please encourage them to try their best because this work should be review from class. You may help your child with homework; however most should be done independently. *If your child cannot complete the homework, please sign the homework or write a note so that we are able to support best.
