Students have homework four times a week. This written homework should usually take the students 5 - 10 minutes to complete, and should be returned to school on the following day. The homework will usually follow this pattern: Monday - spelling/handwriting Tuesday - math Wednesday - Guided reading book with activity Thursday - reading In addition to written homework, I expect the students to do the following activities at home (with parent help) each week: Reading - every day Math Facts - twice a week Spelling - weekly spelling test on Friday Ducks (phonics) - twice a week Boom! (sight vocabulary) - twice a week Creative Writing - once a week Don't forget that a Reading Record (pink sheet) is due every Monday.
