  6. Daily Homework • Homework is a vital part of school and fourth grade. • Most importantly the purpose of homework is to reinforce skills learned in school. • Homework shouldn’t be a battle. • It should be expected as a nightly reinforcement of learning.

  7. Daily Homework • Monday – Thursday for 40 – 60 minutes • Sometimes long term projects may require students to do some work on weekends.

  8. How Much Help is Too Much? • Children do not want parents to do their homework for them. • Parents should not research or assemble projects. • Doing your child’s homework should not be an option. "The pupil who is never required to do what he cannot do, never does what he can do.“      - John Stuart Mill, 1806 - 1873

  9. Dos from the Experts • Do Connect School Subjects With Everyday Life • Figure out a tip at a restaurant. • Balance a check book. • Estimate the total cost gas when filling up. • Figure out the best deal between like items. • Weigh fruits and vegetables at the grocery store. • Do create an environment accommodating to homework. • Designate a spot in the house. • Well lit and quiet space • Needed supplies readily available • Choose a designated time for homework.

  10. Don’ts from the Experts • Don’t be negative about your own personal experiences in school. • Instead of saying “I hated math too,” to empathize with your child, you may try, “I had a difficult time with math too, and this is how I conquered it.” • Don’t argue over homework. If you are unsure of what is expected please call me the next day and discuss it with me.
