Homework Plan
Lake Myra Elementary Homework Plan
Homework is intended to enrich, reinforce, and extend the curriculum, as well as to emphasize responsibility and good study habits. Homework can be given for skills that have been explained and practiced in class, as well as for enrichment. Homework is considered practice in grades K-5 and is evaluated through the work habits grade.
As a Leader in Me Lighthouse School we encourage everyone to use Habit 7 Sharpen the Saw.
We believe our leaders should balance their time between school, extracurricular activities, family, and friends.
If homework is assigned, grade levels will follow research-based guidelines for minutes of homework per day.
-
Kindergarten-2nd Grade: No more than 20 minutes per day.
-
3rd-5th Grade: No more than 50 minutes per day.
