  15. Helping your child • Show your enthusiasm Time Encourage Be persistent Ask the teacher Patience Contact a classmate Practice Study Group

  16. What to ask your child when helping with homework What do you still need to know? What did you try? Let’s use some objects to work it out. Do you have notes from the lesson? Read me the question. Can you draw a picture? Why do you think so? Did you try “guess and check”?

  17. Ways to Support Your Child • Check your child’s agenda every night. • Your child’s backpack is open territory. • Instead of “Do you have homework?”, say “Show me your homework.” • Designate a time and place for homework. • Make sure your child is fluent in basic math skills (Number Sense and Basic Operations). • Encourage and set aside time for your child to Read, Read, Read. Discuss themes and ideas together.

  18. Three Ways to Stay Informed • 1. Subscribe to teacher pages on the LACES website. • 2. Ask about online grade resources (for example: ISIS, Engrade, Edmodo). • 3. Verify that the office has correct contact information.
