PARENT Tips for helping with Mrs.
Potas’ ENGLISH Homework!
Greetings from the English Classroom,
Now that we are in full swing, I thought I would compile
some effective tips for parents to help their kiddo(s) with the weekly English
homework. As a Mom and teacher, I know
sometimes it hard to know how to best support my kids with the homework they
bring home; this sheet should help!
Remember: Your child
will receive 2 extra credit points for you checking and signing ALL homework
assignments!!!!
