MATH STUDENTS/PARENTS: Homework!

I just wanted to send out a little reminder that when students come home with a worksheet or IXL homework they only need to do their homework for 15 minutes a night! If it takes them longer to do their homework that is fine, but they don't need to finish it.Please only 15 minutes a night of homework unless they want extra practice.  I know there has been some confusion about bringing hard copies of their IXL homework each night. Students will come across problems that they need to use a scratch piece of paper for and show each step they take to get their answers. If they use all mental math during IXL please have them right down five problems and their answers. This way if they are making mistakes I can look at their work and see where their mistakes are being made.
