A few things all parents of my students need to know:
In every unit of study, students will have a set of study notes that they are supposed to review and study every night. They should receive the notes several days after the unit begins.
Students need to read from their study notes for about 15 minutes each night after they receive them. Ask to see the notes to verify they have them. If they do not have the notes, they can access them through my "Instructional Resource" site here.
These notes are designed to help clarify material covered in class and to prepare for their next unit test which is always a major grade. A calendar showing test dates will be updated on my web page.
If your child says they don't have homework, that is simply not true. They have homework for Social Studies EVERY day. It doesn't take long, and the rewards are great. Please see that they are doing their reading.
Students must be reading from the study notes EVERY night, no exceptions.
