Tips for Success in Grades 1 & 2

Parents should set aside at least 1-1½ hours per day for grades 1 and 2 schoolwork. Children in grades 1 and 2 need supervision and teacher direction at home. Math should be done daily since practice is essential for achieving math mastery for high school.

Schoolwork entails reading, writing, and completing homework.

Special projects and other major activities often require the parent to set aside a couple of extra hours to ensure that these assignments are completed in a timely manner.

All HEP TX students must complete a math curriculum and a reading curriculum at home since the limited amount of time we have your children at the Classical School is not enough to prepare your child academically in reading and math. If you need ideas for helping your child, please talk with the staff or make an appointment with Joanne Juren, Principal or Tiffany Henry, Assistant Principal.
