Nightly Homework - Students have homework nightly Mon-Thurs.  The weekends are for reviewing and doing any additional reading.

    Mrs. Simmons' Top 5 Benefits of Homework

1. It allows students and teachers to work more closely together.

2. It can bring families together as students may look to their parents or siblings for help.

3. Doing homework will prepare the students to become LIFE LONG LEARNERS! It will also help them develop responsibilities.

4. Homework allows parents to see how their children are being educated and what they are learning in school.  When parents take an interest and active part in their child's education, the child will recognize that and will want to perform better.

5. Homework improves childrens' thinking and memory.  It also helps to develop positive study skills and habits.

When children REVIEW and PRACTICE each night what they cover in class, they will only be making themselves better!

It is recommended that students in grades 3-4 do 30 min each night of homework and an additional 20 minutes nightly of reading.
