This year at Timberland Charter Academy our theme is Champions. All of our students are Champions and we are striving to help them achieve their academic goals. In keeping with that theme, all Champions practice. Homework is our practice. You can expect homework to go home every night. On Tuesday and Thursday your student will bring home reading fluency practice. Please time your student for one minute to help them increase their reading rate. Then, allow them to read the whole passage without being timed. Take some time and ask them questions about the reading. It is not just about how fast they can read, but do they understand what it is they are reading.
Monday through Thursday you can expect your student to bring home math homework. This is practice for the next day’s quiz. If they do not do the homework, they will not be allowed to redo the quiz should they get a low score. Homework must be stapled to the quiz at THE TIME THE QUIZ IS TAKEN. If they forget their homework, they will not be allowed to retake the quiz. No student will be allowed to call home for their homework.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact me at the school.
