HOMEWORK:
In 4th grade, we expect students to complete 40 minutes of homework each night. 4th graders are expected to read for 20 minutes each night, and do math homework for 20 minutes each night. Homework is not graded but is reviewed. Homework is expected to be completed independently by each individual student. The time spent on homework is more important than the amount of homework completed. We do not want homework to be stressful.
I am happy to modify homework as needed to meet the academic needs of the student. If you have any concerns about the amount or challenge level of homework, please contact me.
