Homework Guidelines for Parents
1st Grade Homework Expectations-
-Read 30 minutes each night
-Practice Math at HOME by playing Dream Box or completing any math work that is sent home.
- Provide a quiet place for your child to do homework away from TV and other distractions.
- Help your child prioritize his or her time so that time is scheduled for homework as well as other outside activities.
- Take an active interest in what your child is doing in school. Ask him or her to explain a particular assignment and tell what is being learned by doing it. Make an occasional constructive suggestion but avoid severe criticism and undue pressure. Homework should not be a punishment.
- Communicate with the teacher if homework is too difficult, takes too long to complete, or causes stress.
- Insist upon sufficient rest and proper diet.
- Make sure your child has a balanced life each day that includes play and exercise. A big concern of health professionals is that today’s children spend too much time in front of TV and computer screens, leading to large amounts of inactive time.
