Do you assign homework?
Students will have homework Monday-Thursday.

reading together, or reading to your parents.
*math homework: Parents, please read the purple family math letters sent
home at the beginning of every unit to understand the unit they are studying.
*SMART phonics homework: The students will have SMART homework most nights
that comply with the phonics rule of the week and their spelling words.
What is SMART?
SMART stands for Systematic Multisensory Approach to Reading Training.
This phonics program is very hands-on and we truly believe that it is going
to help our children become better, more efficient readers. Although it
starts off rather basic, we believe that it is important to reinforce these
skills in our children before moving on to more difficult concepts.
What happens if my child loses his/her textbook?
Textbook replacements have to be ordered. Contact teacher for individual book
costs.
What is Everyday Math?
Everyday Mathematics is a rigorous PreK-6 curriculum used across the
country. It is scientifically research-based and proven to build students'
mathematical knowledge from the basics to higher-order thinking and critical
problem solving.
What is IB?
The Primary Years Programme (PYP), for students aged 3 to 12, focuses on the
development of the whole child, in the classroom but also in the world
outside, through other environments where children learn. It offers a
framework that meets children�s several needs: academic, social, physical,
emotional and cultural.
