A QUICK NOTE TO PARENTS:
Just a reminder that the aim is to have about 45 to 60 minutes of homework 5 times per week. Things have begun to get a little busier for the kids as we get towards the latter part of the first term. (Can we really be thinking about report cards?!) Please do let me know if you are finding your child has more homework than described above. Some may have more because they have troubles focusing and working efficiently. I did give students some homework time today in school to help relieve some of that pressure. (On the other hand, let me know if your child has far too little homework!)
