Homework

Our belief

Homework should:

1. Support the learning that happens at school and in the classroom.
    

2. Allow children to practice skills they have learned at school.
    

3. Encourage children to take responsibility for some out-of-class learning.
    

4. Encourage independent study and investigation.
    

5. Help parents become engaged in the child's school learning.
    

6. Make use of community resources.
    

7. Be enjoyable and rewarding.
