Homework will be sent home on Thursdays and expected to be returned the next Wednesday. This way, families can use the weekends for homework if necessary. First graders will be expected to complete 20 minutes of reading every night. This is essential to their success this year. In addition to the reading, homework packets will be sent--10 minutes each night should be spent on this. Approximately once a month, a family project will be sent home. Families should complete this together and will have about 2 weeks to complete. Homework packets will not be sent home the first few weeks of school. You will receive a family project Thursday (August 28th).
