Homework
The homework program will begin early October. Each Friday (Thursday when there are no classes on a Friday), I will send home homework assignments for the week ahead. Then, on the following Thursday, I will collect the students' homework. This allows time to organize homework around other events and activities in your child's life.
Please help your child find a quiet and comfortable place to work. The purpose of homework is to help them to develop time management skills and to practice concepts learned in class.
*A monthly calendar will be sent home at the beginning of each month, which will include important dates, including homework reminders.
Homework will consist of:

Homework will consist of:
- Reading - students are encouraged to read daily and complete a reading response on 3 of those days using the Reading Homework Helper recording sheet. This is not meant to be a long writing activity, but a "check in" to confirm their understanding of what they have read. They are encouraged to write complete sentences and to edit their work before handing it in on Thursday. Students can borrow books from the class or school library or they can read books from home. *Reading Homework Helper due each Thursday
- Math - Math practice sheets or games will be assigned to apply concepts learned in class. Games can be kept at home and replayed. *Math sheets requiring written responses are due each Thursday
- Projects - From time to time, there may be a few fun "at home" activities that will be assigned in addition to the weekly at home reading and math practice.
