How much homework will my first grader have?

I give math homework and phonics homework every night that we have a lesson 
in that subject.  When we finish a math chapter and have an assessment, there 
will be no math homework that night.  Beginnning with phonics lesson 10, 
there will be a phonics assessment every fifth day and no phonics homework 
that night.

Can I e-mail you at school?

Yes, you may.  I check my messages frequently, since this is the way the 
principals and other school staff communicate with the teachers.  If you're 
going to pick your child up early, or change their mode of transportation 
home, just let me know via e-mail.  I will reply to let you know I got your 
mail.

What are reading logs?

Reading logs will come home every Monday beginning on August 20.  They will 
be stapled to the weekly calendar.  Students are expected to read every night 
for a few minutes.  On some nights they will bring home an assigned book to 
read, and on other nights they may choose what to read.  This should be read 
to a parent, and the parent should sign their reading log and return to me on 
Friday morning in their home folder.
