If your child is leaving early or going home in a different capacity please send a written note to school that morning. It is needed for our school records and it is also for the safety of your child.
Homework for Grade 4 should be at least 1 hour each night. This includes written and STUDY every night.
Please review your child's homework each night to make sure that the directions were followed and that the work is being completed correctly. We review all assignments/directions and do examples-allowing time for questions. The children do know that just filling anything in to complete the assignment does not necessarily make it correct-if this is done there is no credit for the work and it is considered a missed assignment.
Please sign the Homework Copybook and all written homework so you can help monitor that your child is prepared for class.
If your child has study homework it is for information that we have discussed in class each day and it is important to review each evening so the information is retained and ready to be applied to other activities.
Weekends are a very good time to review/practice any subject that your child needs extra study. The children are reminded of this every weekend.
Pop quizzes will be given (either orally or written) to help make sure the students are studying.
Tests are to be signed and returned the next day--if the test is not back signed by the second day a demerit will be issued. The children are always reminded to put the tests as well as any other important papers in their HOME FOLDER. The Home Folder goes home daily.
