Work to do at Home [Not Homework]

A popular topic at our Report Card Conferences was our NO Homework Policy at Nelda Mundy. Many parents inquired about what their kids could work on at home to improve their skills and make them more successful in 4th grade.  The "MAY DO" list in our agendas is optional, but it is not meant to be ignored...pick something to do each night so that your child is working towards making growth.  

**I suggest that a schedule be created at home so that a variety of subject areas are covered throughout the week AND that any one resource isn't overused and become stale.**
