Homework

Any time your child spends reading at home is extremely valuable. I would 
recommend that your child reads at least 20 minutes a night. You can help by 
making sure your child is reading a book at his or her level. We spend time 
at school learning how to pick "good-fit books". If a book seems too 
difficult or too easy, encourage your child to choose another book. When 
possible, ask him/her to retell the story to you. This helps to build 
comprehension. 

I cannot stress enough the importance of practicing multiplication facts each 
night with your child. He/she should be bringing home flash cards based 
on which facts he/she is studying at school. Mastery of multiplication 
facts will greatly facilitate your child's success with other math concepts 
throughout the year. When your child has mastered multiplication facts, 
he/she should move on to division facts.  

Students may also receive additional assignments as well.
Please look over and sign your child's assignment planner nightly for all
homework assignments, announcements, due dates, etc.
