Homework is a reinforcement, extension and/or preparation of materials and skills covered in the classroom, and allows the student an opportunity to work independently.As reinforcement, assignments should cover skills previously taught and which are understood by the majority of the class. As extension, long-term projects such as compositions, book reports, research projects, and oral presentations may be assigned. Students may gather or prepare materials needed for class projects.
Homework is generally assigned Monday through Thursday. In the primary grades, a homework sheet is sent home each week. In 3rd grade, students are provided with the homework sheet and they are expected to copy the assignments from the board. In grades 4-8, each student must have a homework assignment planner and assignments are written on the board for students to copy.
