Make homework a priority in your home.  Completing and returning homework helps build a sense of responsibility and prepares the students for the upcoming years.

Designate a quiet and comfortable place for completing homework.

Stock frequently needed supplies: pencils, papers, crayons, scissors, and erasers.

If your child says he doesn't have any homework, then be sure to provide your own homework during the usual homework time.  He can read, write, practice math facts, study vocabulary words, or utilize an interactive educational site.

 Most importantly, communicate with your child's teachers if you have questions or concerns.

Reading is the base of all the subjects.  Scholastic offers great books at reduced prices.  It's a great way to build your home library and help our classroom earn free books.
