Homework helps to develop a sense of responsibility in the students and prepares the students to be accountable in their future world. Homework will have a purpose and connection to the classroom program. Complete and detailed information regarding grade-level homework expectations will be delivered by your child’s classroom teacher.]]> 2019-08-28 05:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377765264 From Bennett Handbook steered https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377765488 2019-08-28 05:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377765488 From Wilburton Handbook steered https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377765497
Homework Reading daily is essential for learning. We expect all students, pre-K through grade 5 to read each night at home. This can be a combination of being read to, reading with, or reading to someone or reading independently. Please ask your teacher for ideas for making reading a fun, family routine at home. Other than reading nightly, Kindergarten students will not have homework. In grades 1-5, If homework is given, it will be intentional, focused, and a continuation of learning that is happening in the classroom. If a family ever has questions about homework, they should talk directly to the classroom teacher.]]> 2019-08-28 05:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377765497 Add your own language https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377766085 Double click anywhere on the blue to start a new post of your own. ]]> 2019-08-28 05:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/377766085 We like...

Request: 
In the Wilburton statement, change the phrases "if homework is given" to "if specialized assignments are given".]]> 2019-08-28 21:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/378072241 I note the freedom (for students, educators and families) and flexibility allowed in the Wilburton Handbook. Also, see how there is an expectation/reminder that learning at home is essential and that it takes place at home in varied forms. https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/378072264 Homework vs. homelearning (semantics worth examining and defining maybe)]]> 2019-08-28 21:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/378072264 Wilburton's is DA BESSST https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/378075266 Homework Reading daily is essential for learning.

Please ask your teacher for ideas for making reading a fun, family routine at home. Other than reading nightly, Kindergarten students will not have homework. In grades 1-5, If homework or projects are given, it will be intentional, focused, and a practice or extension of learning that is happening in the classroom.

He said that "if I see my kid is doing a math sheet easily than I know he's doing good in math". I think it might be important to include a sentence pertaining to this idea because often times many in our parent community thinks if their child does homework quickly that must mean they need a lot of challenges. We need to communicate that easy homework is not a bad thing it just means that your student is doing well. ]]> 2019-08-28 21:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/steered/drgosezvnodv/wish/378078382
