Home Learning
What is it?:
Home Learning should be the self-directed extension and connection of what is learned in school to students’ daily lives with the purpose of encouraging lifelong learning.
Our Philosophy:
We are saying “no” to homework and “yes” to home learning and managing time on other productive activities, especially reading and math facts, physical activities and spending quality time with family.
Home Learning Resources:
Students will have resources (online games, websites, activities, etc.) available on the ACS website in order for them to be able to access in case they want to extend their learning.
Daily Home Reading Expectations:
KG5 & 1st grade: 10 minutes
2nd & 3rd grade: 15 minutes
4th & 5th grade: 20 minutes
