HOMEWORK: If your child is in grades K-4, and homework is a problem, we are very flexible! Some parents want more homework, some want less, some want none! We believe that some homework in the early grades is essential for learning new skills but we do make adjustments to accommodate personal requests. Please let the teachers know if you are having any issues with the homework so that we can explore modifications if needed.
DOCTOR’s APPOINTMENTS: Please make these outside of school hours!!! The frequency and timing of these are starting to cause major disruptions to learning.
Review: Hands-on science goes on at Progressive right from Kindergarten. Most school don’t offer hands-on science until 4th grade. In the video, we see demo in 1t grade of what soap does to water tension.
