"Homework"

Although Room 17 will never be assigned this specifically as homework (kids only bring home work if they are wasting time in class), there are a few things all kids should look into at home to expand their points of view. 

• read for 30 minutes at least three times per week (read anything—novels, graphic novels, the newspaper, etc.)

• practice your basic facts in math (times tables up to 12, especially)

• read the news (I've put links to three major local networks under the Resources tab)

• learn a new language (Duolingo—link is under Resources tab—is a fun and free program or app which gamifies language learning)
