Homework Hoopla..

Our next Homework Hoopla celebration is quickly approaching on January 29th. All homework is due to school by January 27th. 

Homework Hoopla is a way that we are able to award 2nd graders for showing responsibility. Please remember these few things about homework:

1. Homework should only take about 5-15 minutes. If it takes longer than this, please send the homework back to school and I would be more than happy to help your 2nd grader complete their assignment.

2. Homework is always asked to be returned the next day but is not required. Homework is asked to be returned the next day as to not let homework build up.  This is also a way for us to help prepare students for 3rd grade, as their homework is due the next day.

3. Homework is an extension of the days math activities. Your 2nd grader should be able to complete the assignment independently with little support. If they require a lot of help, please let me know.

4.  Students are given several reminders each day to turn in and return homework.  Some days I meet with students' individually to let them know what assignments they are missing.  

5. I ask that the 2nd graders ask for any missing assignments, if they ask, I will send a new copy home with them. You can also check PowerSchool for missing assignments and print them off at home from: http://everydaymath.uchicago.edu/parents/2nd-grade/em-at-home/ . 

If I have left out any important information or left any questions unanswered, please let me know and I will be happy to answer them for you!  Thanks for your support!
