PS 51 The Elias Howe School

Homework is an integral part of the learning process. It provides students with the opportunity to practice skills learned in class, reinforces specific learning strategies, and helps to foster responsibility. All students are required to read at least 1 hour each day. Parents are strongly encouraged to read with their child every day. Please provide an area in your home away from the television, where your child can focus without interference. If your child is demonstrating difficulty with homework or is spending a long time completing assignments, please contact your child’s teacher.
