Toronto District School Board HOMEWORK Policy link
Research has shown that parental involvement in a child’s education is a key to overall and ongoing academic success. The home is a child’s most comfortable learning environment. Developing the habit of completing homework on a regular basis is a vital part of a child’s education. Completing homework regularly and willingly promotes self-management skills, good study habits, a strong sense of accomplishment and the ability to adhere to deadlines.
According to the “Homework Policy” established by the TDSB (June 2008), homework should not simply be “more” work, rather a means of practising and reinforcing concepts that we have learned in class. Homework will typically consist of daily reading for about 20 minutes per day as well as language and math practice . More details about specific assignments will be provided in the days ahead.
The most important aspect of homework is the habit and routine. I check students’ homework for completion. If your child is busy on certain nights, have your child write a short note in the Agenda to explain why homework was not complete.
Remember: The most beneficial academic support you can provide is to read with your child every day (in English or one’s first language). By reading with you, your child will learn to regard reading as a pleasure rather than a chore, and develop an enthusiasm for reading that will last a lifetime

It is expected that your child will be able to read/spell these words by the end of each week. While I will not give a test on the spelling of these words I do expect them to spell them properly in their personal writing.
