HOMEWORK
Homework
contributes toward
building responsibility, self-discipline and lifelong learning habits;
for these reasons, the 6th grade team believes that homework is an
essential part of every child’s learning experience.
Homework is not new learning and should enhance what the student has
been working on in class.
However, homework incorporates a wider definition than most students
realize. It includes the
completion of work not finished in class, completion of daily
assignments, review of concepts taught that day, reading, work on
long-term projects, and studying for
upcoming quizzes/tests.
Most students with failing grades are not adequately completing
homework assignments and studying. Therefore, we recommend
that all students schedule a regular routine
for completing homework. On average, students should anticipate having
45-60 minutes of homework
daily in their academic classes.
We have provided a
WEEKLY
HOMEWORK LOG that might help your
child organize their
homework each week.
