-------------------------------------- Will my child have homework 
                                         every night?

Yes, your child will have homework every night.  I assign homework 
in 
phonics 3 to 4 days a week.  Your child will usually have math 
homework 2 
days a week.  Reading words, spelling words, and sight words need to 
be 
studied daily.

-------------------------------------- Will I receive my child's 
                                      work at the end of each week?

On Friday I send home a "Friday Folder."  The folder has your 
child's work inside for the week.  This will help you to know 
exactly how your child has performed duing the week.  It will help 
you to indentify your child's strengths and weaknesses.  You might 
have your child re-do any activity that he or she might have had 
trouble with.

-------------------------------------- How do I know what my child 
                                         is studying at school?

Inside your child's weekly Friday folder will be a "Achuff's News" 
newsetter.  The newsletter will let you know what your child will be 
studying the following week.  I also send home the spelling and 
reading words for the following week.  This way your child can begin 
studying over the weekend.

-------------------------------------- Will I receive a progress 
                                                 report?

I will send home a progress report every 4 1/2 weeks.
