Homework
According to the St. Mary Handbook, kindergarten students are required to complete a minimum of 15 minutes of homework each night. (Please note: students who fail to complete assignments in class may be required to complete them at home and return them the following school day.)
In kindergarten, homework is not meant to be a rigorous, frustrating activity for students and their parents. Most of this time will be spent on word practice, math concepts, reading together, handwriting practice and other basic skills. Throughout the year, a few special projects will be sent home, and students and their families will have advanced notice of these assignments and extra time to complete them.
Make-up Work: When a student is absent, I will fill out a form listing all the work that needs to be made up and when it is due. Because much of our kindergarten work is done as a whole group and includes many hands-on activities, students may not be able to make up much of the work. In light of this, please keep absences to a minimum!
