Homework
Homework has three
main purposes:
• to finish work
not completed in school;
• to provide
practice and extension of concepts presented in class;
• to allow for
student preparation in upcoming class lessons.
Early in the school
year, you should find out what the expected amount of homework will be in your
child’s class from his/her classroom teacher. Teachers are sensitive to the
content of the homework which is sent home. Teachers outline the expectations
of homework assignments in order for the students to successfully complete
them.
Practical Tips for
Providing a Successful Study Environment for Your Child
Preparation:
Schedule time for
homework or studying. Provide a quiet secluded place with:
• good overhead
lighting;
• a firm chair and
table or desk;
• no distractions;
• no radio or TV!
Hints:
Your child should
know that homework starts at school and by LISTENING to the teacher’s instructions,
he/she will know:
• WHAT to do;
• WHEN the assignment is due;
• WHERE to get information;
• HOW to write the project.
Your child can:
• review notes and
relevant textbook sections;
• correct mistakes;
• make a study
outline.
