**Worksheets given for homework are to help students practice as well as give a general idea of what we are doing in class.  Please feel free to chunk the homework or to give your child choices if the work is overwhelming or too easy for them.  For example, have your child choose to do one or two or all columns in the first part.  If the work comes to them easily, have them represent an even larger number on a separate sheet.  Work sent home is meant to be flexible and helpful.  If a worksheet is, in your opinion, not accomplishing this task, give your child choices or contact me for alternative ideas that suit you and your child.

Homework tips

Every Monday, you can check the Feuille de route section above.  You will find the weekly newsletter and information on homework.

Decide with your child where in their agenda or backpack they will put notices and homework.  Discuss where you will put money and signed permission slips to be returned so your child can easily access them at school.  Check this spot with your child daily.  Remove notices and newsletters and keep them at home.  I will write personal notes in the agendas.  Please try to sign/ see your child's agenda daily for important notices/ homework. 

Here are some tips from the Department of Education to get a homework routine started on the right foot:
