How will I know how my child is doing?
The agenda is our daily school to home communication link. I will stamp the
agenda or write a note daily to let you know how your child's day went. I
send home all graded papers (Math, Spelling, Reading) on Mondays in your
child's blue folder. Mid-term reports are sent home every four and a
half weeks and report cards go home each quarter (every nine weeks). Feel
free to contact me anytime you have a quesion about your child's progress.
Will my child have homework?
Yes. Homework reinforces concepts learned in the classroom. Your child will
receive a homework packet each Monday. For more information, visit the
homework link.
What will the homework packet contain?
The homework packet will contain sight words, spelling
words (Beginning week 4), math facts and math practice, as well as, the
family reading activity and a Home/School connection. See the homework link
for the current weekly sight words, spelling words and the math fact of the
week, as well as a fun game to play with your child.
When will homework be due?
Homework is sent home on Mondays and due on Thursdays.
What can I do to help my child become a better reader?
Read to and with your child everyday. The more your child is exposed to
language, the easier it will be for him/her to develop and incorporate new
skills in reading and writing into classroom activities.
Help your child to recognize the high frequency vocabulary words for
automaticity. Automatic recall will help your child with reading fluency and
comprehension.
What can I do to help my child achieve success?
Celebrate your child's success, no mater how small it may seem. This will
help your child become enthusiastic about learning and proud of his or her
work.
Stay involved in your child's education. Engage your child in conversations
about his/her day. Realize that children won't always give out too much
information. Ask questions.
