Homework
Your child will have homework each night in fourth grade. Homework generally consists of a Math Link from Everyday Math, reading, and spelling. You should expect your child to spend about 30-40 minutes on homework each night. This consists of 20-30 minutes of nightly reading, a nightly math link (5-10 minutes), and a little bit of spelling or math fact practice (5-10 minutes). They will also be responsible for writing a Current Event once every other week.
Homework is designed to be independent. I expect that students will be able to complete their homework assignments with minimal help. If an assignment is particularly difficult for your child, please make a note of that on the homework assignment or in the homework book, and I will be sure to spend some extra time with your child on that particular skill.
