Homework
1 hour per week. To solidify the concepts learned in class and ensure continued progress, students will have short homework assignments each week. These assignments will be completed on the secure and engaging online learning platform, Zearn. Here's how the homework will work: Short and Focused: Each week, you will receive an email notification letting you know which Zearn lesson your child will need to complete before the next class. These lessons are designed to be achievable within 20-30 minutes, allowing for a manageable workload outside of class time. Personalized Learning: Zearn utilizes an adaptive learning approach, which means the lessons automatically adjust to your child's individual skill level. This ensures they are challenged appropriately and receive targeted practice where needed. Data-Driven Instruction: As your child completes their Zearn assignments, I will be able to access valuable data on their progress. This data allows me to identify any areas where they might need additional support and tailor upcoming lessons accordingly.
