Focus off homework, on study time for Eden Lake studentsMay 14, 2008 - 1:32pm — Leah ShafferSince February, Eden Lake Elementary has adopted a policy of cutting the homework in lieu of putting the emphasis on a practice called study time. The study time policy encourages parents to spend at least 15 minutes, five nights a week reading with their children. Beyond that, it’s open ended as to what the student could work on – but, no work has to be taken back to school and graded.
 Alex Messinger and Micaele Edwards receive their books for My Book Day. Each student receives his or her own pre-picked hard-bound book for the event, which is sponsored by the Eden Prairie Noon Rotary.
