When does Homework begin?

Nightly Homework Starts, Monday 9/8

Homework will be assigned MONDAY - THURSDAY:

Use your child's FLUENCY FOLDER along with the book, poem(s), or reading passage sent home in your child's Take Home Folder Nightly.

Your reading need not exceed 15 minutes.

Your child will begin to use their SCHOOL PLANNERS on Monday, 9/8.

Students will write their weekly spelling words in their SCHOOL PLANNERS.

Students will need to do the following with their SPELLING WORDS:

MONDAY:  Pre-test Words

TUESDAY:  Write MISSED WORD(S) ONLY with crayons

WEDNESDAY:  Spell MISSED WORDS ONLY out loud using a funny voice (be silly with it)

THURSDAY:  Play Hangman with MISSED WORDS ONLY

Please begin to use XtraMath at home on Monday, 9/8.

Students will need to do ONE ROUND of XtraMath nightly.

I am a firm believer that family time is valuable.  The lessons learned at home are as important (if not more important) than those learned at school.  As a result, my goal is to allow as much family time as possible after your child returns home from a day at school.  To this end, I would like all of my students to spend no more than 30 minutes a day on homework.

PROJECTS WILL CONSUME MORE TIME and will only be assigned on a monthly basis.
