Dear Parents,
We had the opportunity to speak to parents of grades 1 through 4 this week during our first Tuesday Talks session. We had a lively discussion, opening the floor to question from the parents. The recurring question was, “How can I assist my child with homework?”
Last year, we had our own Emily Clay, 3
rd Grade teacher and Intervention Specialist, present on this very subject. The title of the presentation was,
Teacher’s Tell All: The Homework Edition. Of note, Homework has both academic and personal goals, including practice and reinforcement, mastery of skills, responsibility, independence, and initiative. Most importantly, the presentation communicates a common misunderstanding about homework teachers want to clarify – How much parent involvement should be required for homework? Hint: The answer is
NONE! (Cue the Chorus!)
If as a parent, you missed this presentation or would like to see this presentation again, please reply to
JSaladino@stroselima.org so we can start a list. Once we gather a number of individuals interested in
Teacher’s Tell All: The Homework Edition, we will coordinate a quick meeting to provide you with the information and resources you need to best support your child.
Thank you for the attendance at Tuesday Talks and the valuable input! We love partnering with our families.
Happy St. Rose of Lima Feast Day,
Principal Drabek ’75
