Homework and Assignment Support at WAYS

Published on August 5, 2025 by in News

Hello WAYS families,

We hope your school year is going well and that your child is enjoying learning and growing at Wisdom Academy for Young Scientists. In this Community Update, we want to talk about something that is a big part of your child’s success at school: homework and assignment help.

We know that homework can sometimes feel hard for both students and parents. That is why we want to share how we do homework at WAYS, give you some helpful tips, and show you the support we offer to make homework easier for everyone. Together, we can help your child become a strong, confident learner at home and in the classroom.

Why Homework Matters at WAYS

At Wisdom Academy for Young Scientists, we believe that homework is an important part of learning. It helps students remember what they learned in class and gives them extra practice to build strong skills in reading, writing, math, and science.

Homework also teaches students how to be responsible and work on their own. When they finish assignments at home, by themselves or with the help of AssignmentGeek assignment writers, they learn how to manage time and solve problems by themselves. These are skills that will help them in school and in life.

Homework is not meant to be too hard or take too long. Our goal is to help students grow and feel confident, not stressed. We make sure that homework is age-appropriate and connected to what students are learning in class. Parents can also see what their children are working on and support them along the way.

When families and teachers work together, students do better. That is why we want to make homework a positive experience for everyone.

How We Assign Homework

At WAYS, we give homework that matches each grade level. Younger students in kindergarten and first grade may have about 10 to 15 minutes of homework each day. Older students in fourth or fifth grade may have up to 30 minutes. We keep it short so students can practice without feeling too tired or stressed.

Most homework includes reading, simple writing tasks, or math problems. Sometimes, there may be a science question or a fun project. All homework is connected to what students are learning in class. This helps them review and remember important lessons.

Teachers give clear instructions and explain the homework before students go home. If your child has a question, they can ask the teacher the next day. We want students to try their best and feel proud of what they can do on their own.

Homework is not for grades only. It is a chance for your child to grow, build skills, and feel successful.

Tips for Parents: How to Support Homework at Home

Homework time can be easier when children get support from home. You do not need to be a teacher to help your child. Small steps can make a big difference. Here are some simple tips to help your child do their best with homework.

1. Make a quiet space

Choose a quiet place at home where your child can work without noise or distractions. A small table with good light is perfect.

2. Pick a regular time

Try to do homework at the same time each day. This helps your child build a routine and know when it is time to focus.

3. Turn off distractions

Turn off the TV and keep phones and toys away during homework time. This helps your child stay focused and finish faster.

4. Be nearby and give support

You do not need to give the answers. Just be close so your child feels safe and supported. Encourage them to try their best and think for themselves.

5. Praise effort, not just correct answers

Say something kind when your child works hard. For example, you can say, "I like how you stayed focused" or "Good job trying that problem on your own."

When parents show interest in homework, children feel more motivated and confident. Even a few kind words can help your child stay on track and enjoy learning.

W.A.Y.S. Weekly Update

Published on December 8, 2013 by in News

Dear WAYS Community,

Good morning everyone. As we all mourn the loss of a truly great leader, Nelson Mandela this week we have the opportunity to teach our children about civil disobedience, pacifism, and fighting for what is right without violence. Many of our teachers took this week as a teachable moment to explain the life of this remarkable man. I encourage you to also follow up at home.

Other highlights of the week were the Gifted parent meeting, another visit by the Levin’s to take a look at the moon through the telescope, presentations about the holiday of Chanukah, and coffee with the principal.

Reminders:

· We realize these chilly and wet mornings make it difficult to get to school on time, however when students miss instructional time it is detrimental to everyone as it slows the pace of the classroom and is often responsible for behavioral issues. These last few weeks before winter break are crucial so please do your best to get your children to school every day on time.
