I totally forgot tomorrow was Friday, so the Cluesletter will be short today. I always look for information that will be helpful to you and your children. Today I want to talk about homework. Homework should not take too much time. Now, I know that is kind of vague, so if you are spending any more than 10 to 15 minutes a page that is too long. The homework I give is a review of that days activities. If a child seems to have no clue what to do then there is a problem. It could be that the child wrote the wrong page or misunderstood the page, or wrote the write page for the wrong book. Ask you child if I was doing this today in class. If they say no I was doing something else, then this is probably the case. If they say yes, then the student just didn’t understand. If you understand, please help them, and if you do not just send me a note. I will be glad to help them the next day. Homework should be a review. It should not leave the both of you frustrated.
Have a great week!!
