Homework will be assigned beginning on Monday. Students will be
given 10 spelling words every Monday. These words are part of our reading
program and include 6 words that follow a word family or phonics pattern,
and 4 sight words. These words should be studied each night. A spelling test
will be given every Friday.
Students will be required to read for at least 10 minutes every
night. This is the best way to reinforce reading skills and increase
reading fluency. Please have your child read the small ‘take home’ phonics
readers. If your child is already a fluent reader, reading these small
books will help reinforce the phonics lessons. A strong phonics base will
help your child decode multi-syllable words and improve spelling skills.
Math homework will be assigned 2 nights each week. These math
assignments will reinforce skills that have been presented in class.
Please have an adult in your household become a ‘homework helper.’
Set up a time that your child can do homework with minimal distraction.
Some families like to get all the homework completed right after school.
Other families prefer to have a ‘homework time’ after dinner. Some
children do best if they complete one part of their homework, take a break,
then complete the remaining work.
Every Monday your child will bring home a homework assignment sheet
for the week. Please keep this sheet in your child's yellow take-home
folder and be sure to sign off each day to show that the homework was
completed.
If you have any problems or questions, send in a note and we’ll get
back to you as soon as our schedule allows.
