Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do with the math papers that come home each day?
The math pages that come home is a way for me to keep you posted on what skills we are doing in class. It also lets you know if the current task was easily grasped or if your child needed further teaching. I suggest you look over the pages and follow up when necessary. Once an assessment is given, you can recycle them.Back to Top

Are the children expected to read their assessments on their own?
I always encourage the students to give their best effort but I do read their assessments to the children until Decemeber. Once the Christmas holiday is over and the children return in the new year, I stop reading to them. This is about the time you should see your child become independent.Back to Top

What are the small booklets in their take home folders that come home weekly?
These books are decodable readers that are associated with that weeks reading unit. It addresses the skills the children are learning about in school that specific week. They are a quick and simple read for children and is great for focussing on fluency because of the repetative nature. It also uses the current sight words we are working with. I encourage the children to read to anyone for practice.Back to Top
