Homework

Homework not only gives your child an opportunity to practice their reading, math and spelling skills, but it also begins to set the groundwork or foundation for good school routines and time management. I appreciate your help as we get your first or second grader in a homework routine.

Math A packet of homework pages will be sent home at the start of each week. Each page is a review of what we are working on during math class. Please remember it is important to practice the skills we are working on in class. Math folders are returned each Friday.

Reading RAH or Reading At Home folders come home at the start of each week. Children are expected to read each night (Monday-Thursday) for 15 minutes or more and record this in their folder. It is important that each student is reading books that are "just right" or a "good fit" for them. Students have the option to choose books from school to bring home, but they may also read books that they have at home. RAH folders are returned each Friday.

Spelling/Word Work This year we will be using Phonics Lessons by Fountas and Pinnell to guide our spelling/word work instruction. Information and activities will come home with your child at different times throughout the school year. Please remember to check their homework and take home folders.
