Check your child's planner each night. Look over their assignments for completion, accuracy, understanding and best effort. Then initial the planner.
Students are recommended to spend 60-90 minutes a day on homework.
Encourage focused on-task work time. Take short breaks every 20 minutes.
Once daily work is finished (math and reading) spend time working on long-term projects.
Sit down with your child to help them plan out long-term projects and afterschool activities on a monthly calendar.
If your child consistently has more or less than 60-90 minutes of homework, contact the child's teachers.
