Core Academics : Worksheets, Classwork, Homework
What should we do with the worksheets that come home?
Std 1, 2 : Just file the sheets that the child brings home. They do not need to come back to school. File sheets of different subjects in different files as has been shared with you in the material collection list.
Std. 3 to 10 : When the sheet comes home, if there is HW on it, then that has to be done and brought back to school the next day. Once the homework is checked and the sheet is returned, it does not have to come back to school. File it and keep it at home.
What do we have to refer to the worksheets for?
We need to refer to the worksheets for the content that is taught in the school and so to prepare for the examinations. The worksheets are the reference material for the students to revise the concepts that are required to be done for their periodic tests/unit exams.
Absent Students: Collecting Worksheets from School
We hand over the worksheets that your child has missed out on, once the child rejoins the school. Physical copies of the worksheets need to be collected from each subject teacher separately. Those respective teachers have them in their files for the absent students. So when the students come back to the classroom, in their next subject period those sheets will be handed over to them by each teacher separately.
You can also refer to the ""Curriculum update"" section in the Wal-sh app to get the digital format of the worksheet and the presentations that the teacher has used in the class. This way you are not in the dark about what is going on everyday in school and you also do not have to go out seeking that information from other classmates. We have shared tutorials with you already. Refer to https://walnut.school/wal-sh-app/ to understand how to use WalSh.
You do not have to print the sheets yourself. As we have told you, the student will be receiving all the worksheets from the school when they join back. Do note that the student does not have to complete and submit earlier worksheets that were missed due to absenteeism. The teacher will not be collecting / checking sheets that are not submitted with the rest of the class.
We hope you are aware that WalSh has a web version. The tutorials for that have been shared with you already. This way you can access it on a computer through a browser. Please refer to https://erp.walnutedu.in/walsh .
How do we come to know about homework?
You can check it from what the student has marked on the worksheet when they bring it home. This is also seen in the curriculum update tab of Wal-Sh app, which is usually updated sometime before 6 pm everyday.
What is to be done about homework?
Students from KG to Std 2 do not have homework. So there is no action point here. From Std. 3 onwards, the student needs to complete the homework and bring it back to school the next day and hand it over to the teacher. Once it is checked by the teacher, it is returned to the student to bring it home and file.
What are the textbooks that we have to refer to?
You need to refer to the NCERT textbooks and novels and some state board textbooks that are mentioned in the list shared with you. Some special subjects in some standards do not have a separate textbook assigned. The study material for these is sent to you on the worksheets itself as it is custom made for Walnut School students.
