As many of you know I have developed my Learner Development Support Program. I also do Tutoring, Homework Help, Fine Motor Development, completed a Reader and Scribe course and Facilitating. But the reason behind this post is to discuss my Homework Policy that I have. Homework is given but it is Happy Homework. Happy Homework takes 5 minutes long and just enforces what was taught. It can be anything from reading Sight words to practicing 3 set of times tables. I still feel kids should get homework but not to a point that it takes longer than 20 minutes. Yes, it is important to learn but projects and solid learning needs to be done at school.Happy Homework:
Words and Writing:
☆ A list of 10 Sight words is given, these Sight words are also placed onto Flashcards
☆ A list of 8 Spelling words is given focusing on a specific sound, these Spelling words are also given on a flashcard and a practice page for the Spelling words is given
☆ One page is given to practice writing, once each letter is mastered in writing, then fun sentences/poems is given to help with practice
Maths:
☆ It depends on the age but different things are given for homework
☆ Children ages 4 - 6 get fun counting cards and children ages 7 - 9 getting taught in a way that works for them. Parents need to please give me a clear outline of what is being taught
☆ Important Maths skills are focused on during the Learner Development Support Program
Please remember when completing Happy Homework:
☆ Complete all the homework given, this homework helps your child
☆ Parents will be informed of what is for homework so responsibility is given to the parents
☆ Encourage your child to learn during the Happy Homework sessions, don't give out the answers
☆ When learning Sight words and Spelling words, use the words in a sentence to help with learning
Happy learning! :)
