As a mother, I know full well the stress that too much homework can cause. This is the primary reason that the 4th grade team generally only expects students to complete 20 minutes of math and 20 minutes of language arts homework per day. Also, the homework that is expected can be done on the computer by the student without a lot of parental involvement. Each day, I will give students adequate time in class to complete worksheets and math pages. I do not hand out pages at the end of a lesson and assign it as homework. However, assigned work will become homework if a student wastes his or her time during the given work period. There may also be students who struggle with a particular concept, and may need extra help. Please keep me posted, and we'll work together in those situations. There will be occasional projects assigned during the school year that will be completed at home. I will try to make these as fun and engaging as possible so that students will be motivated to complete it themselves. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.
