HOMEWORK READY.....

This week students will begin to get homework. To make doing homework a success here are some tips:

 1. Get some school supplies for home, some suggestions are:

Scissors

Pencil

Glue Stick

Crayons

Keep all these materials in a box/pencil holder ect that your student has access to.

2. Ask your student on the way home or right when they walk in the door if they have homework.

3. If student is hungry give a light snack (for example: goldfish, cheez it's, apple slices) something that is light but won't spoil dinner.

4. Have your student do homework before they do ANYTHING else. This way it's still fresh in their minds and they then will have the rest of the evenings for activities that they would like to do. 

5. Get your student used to putting back all the materials. School supplies put away and putting their folder (which comes to school everyday) in their backpack and sit by the door to be ready for the next day!

These are just suggestions that you may want to try at your house or with your child.

The most important thing is that your child gets into a routine of coming home, and doing homework. Remember this is going to take some time to get them used to this routine they are still rather young and have to get into a steady rhythm.
