***All homework will be indicated on the weekly newsletter that is sent home in your child's daily folder every MONDAY. Please look for this each week to use as a guide and to help your child study.***
I cannot reiterate enough how important it is to have your child read to you every single night. This is imperative to your child's success in first grade.
Nightly Homework:
-Read with your child
-Practice Weekly Spelling Words (tests on Thursdays)
-Practice Weekly Sight Words (these will be included in the reading tests on Fridays)
-Practice the High Frequency Word "Rapid Word Chart" nightly
Math:
I try to limit homework and, therefore, only send math homework occasionally. If sent home, it can be found in the homework flap of your child's daily folder. Math tests vary from week to week and the weekly newsletter will note what we are working on in math. In order to help increase fact fluency, it will help to give your child a few addition/subtraction facts to work on each night.
**We will have a math homework calendar for each month. Please have your child complete one math problem each night (on the indicated date) and turn in the calendar at the end of each month. If completed it will be a math grade of 100%. If not completed it will result in a math grade of 0%.
