Daily Homework and important information will be handwritten into the student's agenda.  We encourage you to look at your child's agenda on a nightly basis.  As a general rule, homework should not take longer than 25-30 minutes.

Weekly Spelling Homework:    

Second graders receive homework on a nightly basis.  They get their spelling words every Monday morning.  They print these words in their agenda on that weeks page.  We have 12 spelling words each week.

Here are a few pointers on how to make learning the weekly spelling words:

1. Give your child a pre-test early in the week to see what words he/she knows already.
2. Group "like words" together (bake/cake/make and hot/shot).
3. Give your child intermittent practice tests during the week.  Then you can focus on the problem words.
4. Encourage your child to visualize the word or draw the word in the air.
5. Make sure to praise your child for their progress.  If he/she is having a problem with a couple words but is doing well with the rest, be sure to commend them for what they are getting correct.
