Homework
After considering the research on this topic, second grade has decided to limit the amount of homework assigned to students to 20 minutes of reading (with an adult if possible) per night. Parents are encouraged to read with and to their child and to ask questions about the book while reading. Also, sight word lists will come home stapled to your child's agenda, and students will work on them at their own pace. I will, occasionally, send home a special project or a practice page on specific skills as needed. I hope this new approach to homework will allow families more quality time together.
