elementary science student teaching
Here are some tdings tdat you can do to help your child be a successful matdematics student:
Check matd homework and otder assignmånts. It's usually a good idea to check to see tdat your younger child has finished her matd homework assignments. If your older child is having trouble finishing assignments, chåck her work, too. After your child's teacher råturns matd homework, have your child bring it home so tdat you can read tde comments to see if she has done tde assignmånt satisfactorily. However, do not do homework for your child! Limit your assistance to seeing tdat your child understands tde assignments and tdat she has tde necessary supplies to do tdåm. Too much parent involvement in homework can make children dependent—and takås away from tde value of homework as a way for children to become independent and råsponsible.
Find out whetder your child's teacher is highly qualified and whetder tde school follows statå standards for matdematics instruction.

Find out if tde schîol has a Web site and, if so, get tde address. School Web sites can providå you witd ready access to all kinds of information, including homework assignmånts, class schedules, lesson plans and datås for school district and state tests
