Homework

Healthy Homework Habits

• Designate a place in your home where your child will consistently complete homework (desk, table in quiet place, special chair in bedroom, etc.)

• Have plenty of supplies available at the homework station (sharp pencils, an eraser, 2nd grade word list, letter formation chart for neat handwriting, etc.)

• Encourage a consistent time to complete homework (this may be directly after school, after dinner~ determine what works best for your child)

• Have a healthy, energy boosting snack before beginning work (peanut butter crackers, grapes, fruit smoothies)

• Have younger siblings read, color, draw, etc. during the designated work time, so as not to disturb your student

• Do not spend more than 15-20 minutes on homework per afternoon

Establishing healthy homework habits now, will help your student in the future!!
