Classroom Learning    Homework Should your child have homework each night? Yes, they should! Obviously, the amount and kind of homework will vary from day to day, but it is a good idea to set aside time each day to read and finish homework. If your child says that they don't have any homework, study spelling words, work on math facts, or have them write a letter or book report. Any one of those activities will make them a more successful student. Don't forget, again this year all Saint Paul students are required to read 25 books at their reading level, so your student never has the excuse that they don't have any homework.
