Below are a few questions that are frequently asked by parents of our students. If you do not find your question listed below, feel free to contact me!
Set up a homework routine. Although your child will seldom be assigned "homework", they may bring daily class assignments home to finish. It is helpful to set up a routine for completing homework. Keep a small collection of school supplies in an easy to reach location. Pencils, an eraser, a pencil sharpener, lined paper, a ruler, colored pencils or crayons, and a well lighted table or desk away from distractions will give your student a place to complete their work and show them that you think their work is important.
Check student planner often. Your student has been given a planner to record all assignments and other important events and announcements. This planner is also an easy way for you and I to communicate about your student. Check your student's planner often to be sure they are recording and completing assignments.
Encourage, assist, but don't "do". Your students will have many opportunities in 5th grade to grow and learn. Be encouraging to your student when they struggle, and praise them when they accomplish their goals and make progress. Please feel free to assist your students with work they bring home. Your interest and support will have a positive impact on your student's success. Be careful to give help and explanations, but let students complete assignments for themselves.
Communication! When you have questions, concerns, or need clarification about assignments or class activities please feel free to contact me at the numbers below. When parents and teachers work together students' learning is enhanced.
