A homework sheet will be sent home every Friday. Once we begin our Weekly Reading Lessons, Reading flashcard “sight words” for the following week’s story will be included. Please cut these apart and keep them at home in a Ziploc bag. Your child should practice reading these words as part of his/her daily homework and eventually be able to read these words independently. Please keep your homework sheet in a safe place at home. Please refer to this sheet for nightly homework assignments. You will notice a pattern when we are following a full week schedule: Monday- Spelling Words 3X each & Math Tuesday- Language Arts & Math Wednesday- Spelling & Math Thursday- Spelling Sentences & Math Friday- No written homework; please practice all flashcards It is also a great idea to read with your child for at least 15 minutes each evening, in addition to any other homework. A good time for this is right before bed. Homework assignments reinforce skills learned in class and are therefore very important and must be handed in on time. In event of an emergency when homework cannot be completed, please write me a note. Unexcused, late or missing assignments will effect your child's semester grade. Your child should not be spending more than a half hour on homework each evening. If this occurs, please let me know.
