Homework! It always seems that little brother or sister can't wait for homework, while big brother or sister wishes it would just disappear! Homework in kindergarten is primarily about developing responsibility. Students are responsible to bring home the assignment, complete it with a parent's guidance, and then return it. These skills will help to serve your child well later in his/her school life!
Much of the assigned homework in kindergarten involves reading, writing and math. Unless otherwise specified, homework is due the following school day. Parents often wonder, "Should I correct my child's mistakes? How will the teacher know he/she is having a problem?" My advice is: yes, point out the mistakes to your child in a gentle way, and use that opportunity to re-teach and clarify the skill. If you would like me to know about a particular problem area, you can always jot down a note, and I'll respond as soon as possible.
