Homework
There is daily homework in 2nd grade. The expectation set by Eagle Ridge is that 2nd graders have 30 minutes per day. Additionally, your child is required to read for at least 20 minutes each day outside of the classroom (and be recorded on their reading log). Please review your child's planner every night for the most current information on their daily homework.
Homework folders/Planners
We have a homework folder that will go home each night and will need to be returned each day. (Please see the diagram on the left). The purpose of the folder is to carry homework, spelling lists, and other important documents to and from school. It is also a way to enable communication between myself and families. Your child's planner will be stored in this folder. It is imperative that this folder, along with your child's planner is reviewed every night (preferably together). I also ask that you initial or sign your child's planner EVERY night. **I will also send important information or updates via email and post on our classroom website.
Excellence & Late Work
Excellence represents one of the pillars of Eagle Ridge; students will demonstrate this pillar by taking pride and turning in their best work. Neat work is expected across all subject areas. Student homework that is turned in late (any other day than when it is due) will be marked late and reflected in the work habits grade. Late homework will receive zero points after the one day grace period, unless an absence occurred. No name papers and illegible work may not receive full credit.
