Homework will be given once the students have settled into the new school year. Homework is used to review skills and concepts. It is to help strengthen understanding and build confidence. For this reason, you will not see homework that is practice for the skills and concepts taught that day in class. Homework will be review of previously taught items that students feel comfortable doing on their own. If students do come across a question that they are confused on and their homework helper has trouble with it too, they are asked to put a star next to it and come to class the next to talk with me.
