2nd GRADE HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is a
necessary and integral part of the learning process. The benefits of
homework include the reinforcement of academic skills, as well as the
development of student responsibility, self-discipline, and
intellectual independence.
Students
will usually receive homework every night. If there isn't any homework sent, students can work on
their addition, subtraction facts, spelling words, or read. A typical night
of homework will include an assignment in
Reading, Math, and one other subject. Additionally, We ask that
students read at least 20 minutes per night. What they read is
entirely up to them. The goal is to get students reading. The more
they enjoy what they are reading, the more they will read.
Daily
homework is due the day after it is assigned (unless otherwise
specified). Students absent due to illness will be given the necessary
time to make up missed assignments.
Students
in Second grade are able to work up to 20-30 minutes per day. Contact
your child’s teacher immediately if he or she is consistently spending
an excessive amount of time on homework.
