Math Homework Policy

First Grade—Dodge Literacy Magnet
Homework: Homework has two major purposes. The first and major purpose is to promote and encourage your child to be responsible and accountable. The second purpose is to review and practice basic reading, math, writing and spelling skills. Each evening your child will bring home their daily folder. Some evenings there may be specific homework, while some nights there will be none. Children should always read 15-20 minutes each night, practice sight words, spelling words and math skills as games, etc. is sent home. Some suggestions for homework:  1. Set a regular place for homework.  2. Set a regular time for homework.  3. Be positive and relaxed. Praise your child for bringing his/her homework home and for trying.
