The purple Homework folder is sent home on Mondays and is expected back to school by Friday. Homework is not sent home during Holidays! We ask you to review Math Facts, Sight Words, and Harcourt Stories with your child. Of course we expect you will also continue to read, for at least 15 minutes, each night as well!!! Remember to write down the titles of the books that you read on your record sheet! Send it in for a prize or a free Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut (October through March!) Thank you for your continued support! ______________________________________________________________________________ Reading will always be an important part of your child's life. Encourage your child to read to siblings, stuffed animals, or even to him/herself whenever possible. Our goal is for the students to enjoy reading and not look at it as work or as a chore. Please read to, or with your child each night! Not only is Reading an important part of first grade homework, but it also reinforces new skills taught in class and allows for wonderful family bonding time as well:) ______________________________________________________________________________ Here are some fun money Poems to help your child remember his/her coins!
