Look through you child’s backpack each day. In it you should find his/her homework folder, reading book, and important notes.

Take out all corrected papers and go over them with your child.

Help your child complete all the incomplete papers. Ask you child why he/she did not complete the papers. If he/she did not understand the directions, why? Did he/she listen to the directions? Did he/she ask questions about the directions? Did he/she work during work time or was he/she wasting time?

If your child is not bringing corrected papers home, they may be left in his/her desk. Tell you child to bring all of his/her papers home.

If you notice that your child is having trouble with a particular skill, practice the skill with your child a few minutes each day.

Ask your child about school each day. This lets him/her know that you think school is important and it becomes important to him/her also.

Homework is given Monday through Thursday, and spelling words are sent home on Friday. Discuss and sign homework.

Make sure your child has all of the necessary supplies needed at school (pencils, crayons, glue, homework folder, and scissors)
