How can I help my child be a better student?
Each Monday look for the weekly homework sheet in your child's folder. It lists all the skills we will be working on that week. It includes the spelling and vocabulary words. The spelling test will be given on Thursday, and a weekly reading quiz and TCAP practice test on Friday. Every workbook page that I send home - reading, spelling, grammar, and math -will have a parent note at the bottom with activities for you to do with your child. When we begin a new unit in math, I will send home a page from the math book that tells what we're learning and has a math game. I also have available on a cd the entire math book, practice book, and other resources that can accessed on your home computer. These disks are for your use during the school year. Please send me a note, call me, or come by our classroom and I'll be glad to loan you one. All I ask is that you return it by the end of this school year. Read aloud to and with your child. Visit the Nathan Porter Library and register for a library card if you don't have one. Then check out the wonderful books, videos, and other excellent resources they have.Back to Top
