          What is the Adventures Homework policy?

    First and second graders are very busy in school during the day and we believe it is important to have play time after school and get to bed on time. Therefore we do not generally assign much homework. 
      We do encourage Adventurers families to make a regular reading time. This should be a time to enjoy good books and is not instructional. Students should use their reading skills and parents can support them with challenging words, and enrich the reading process with discussion about the story elements.
   Everyday Math uses "homelinks" as a way to inform families of what students are working on in math and to provide some follow-up practice to what the students are working on in class.  We encourage families to supplement this with fun math games and activities, discussion of math concepts when there are opportunities.

  The ParentLink homework each week is an quick activity related to an upcoming class activity.  All students are expected to turn in the assignment by Wednesday, so they can participate in the class activity. The task is posted on the ParentLink and parents are asked to inform their child as the students are not told about it in school. (This is an intentional incentive to help make sure parents read the parentlink each week; See ParentLink)
