HOMEWORK CLUB INFORMATION

 

Homework Club is open to students in grades 1-8 and meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5:00p in our office. Homework Club starts on September 17, 2024, and will run weekly following the LBUSD school calendar. We can accommodate up to 8 students. During this time, students are invited to bring their homework and unfinished classwork to complete independently. They may also bring in silent reading books, math facts, flashcards, or any other nightly tasks that teachers have assigned. Our Homework Club tutor will answer questions, offer manipulatives or examples to help students understand concepts, and let parents know what has been completed and checked, as well as what may still need to be finished at home.

Your child may attend one day or both!

How many students can enroll in the homework club?
We will enroll up to 8 students each day. 

What happens if we need to miss a day of homework club?
If your child needs to miss a day of homework club, they may come in for a make-up session the week before or the week after. There are no refunds for missed homework club days.
 

What if my child's teacher does not provide and/or assign homework?
At the elementary level, most teachers expect students to read daily and practice spelling words and/or math facts. At the middle school level, most teachers expect students to finish incomplete classwork, complete homework, and study lesson materials for future exams. If your child finishes all of their homework, and they have nothing to work ahead on, we have lots of fun academic games and activities that students may choose from.

What if my child does not have assigned homework from school that day?
If your child does not have homework, we're pretty good at finding things for them to do. Your child can read, practice math facts and/or spelling words, review classwork, work ahead on a project, or play one of the academic games in our office.

What if my child needs to complete an online task or assignment?
We have 2 iPads that your child may use for online tasks and assignments. They are also welcome to bring in their own devices. We have WiFi available for all students. If their assignment makes noise, or if sound-on video is required, please send them with a pair of headphones that they can use to minimize distractions for others.

What if my child does not bring in a book to read?
We have lots of books at all reading levels that students may borrow.

What if my child does not have math fact flashcards?
We have sets of math fact flashcards that students may borrow. We also have access to online games, as well as task cards and activities in our office.

How can my child practice their spelling words?
We can administer a practice test. Your child may also choose to complete one of our spelling tasks, such as building words with magnetic letters, writing acrostic poems, building words with Play-Doh, and completing a word search. We have lots of fun options!

Will you have time to work with my child independently?
After we get all students settled, we will monitor student assignments to determine where we can be the most helpful. Our goal is to spend one-on-one time with each student in the homework club at some point, even if it's just to look over work and offer feedback and encouragement.

Are you able to time my child on an activity?
Yes! We have timers that students may use independently, but we can also time them for activities like cold reading fluency.

Do you have supplies that my child can use for their homework?
We have basic supplies that students may need for homework, such as blank and lined paper, pencils, colored pencils, markers, glue, tape, stickers, and books. 

How do we unenroll our child from the homework club?
To remove your child from the homework club, please provide 30 days notice by emailing kristen@kidsunderconstruction.com to let her know when your last day will be.
