Homework
As children enter Kindergarten, they are eager and ready to learn. These enthusiastic young students enjoy age-appropriate homework with assignments that provide successful learning experiences. All homework is leveled and differentiated to meet the learning needs of each student. Kindergarten homework lays the foundation for good work habits in later years. Furthermore, positive homework helps establish the home-school connection and involves you, the parents, as partners in your child's daily learning experiences.
