Second graders are expected to read nightly for approximately 20 minutes.
It's very important that students read, and are read to at home. As a way to
verify this nightly reading, I will pass out a reading log that will be
collected at the end of each week. This log will be completed by students
and signed by parents to account for 20 minutes of reading five times per
week.
In addition to this nightly reading requirement, students will be given
approximately 20 minutes of written homework Monday through Thursday.
• Spelling Packet- (Due on Friday) A review of the weekly spelling words
• Math Sheet- (Due Daily) A review of the daily math concept/lesson
Monthly Project – Students will be assigned a book report or project that
will be due at the end of each month. Students will be expected to share
their projects with the class.
All homework is reinforcement or extension of class instruction. Homework
will be checked for quality and effort. Parents are always encouraged to
assist children with homework, projects, and book reports. If your child is
spending longer than 20 minutes and/or struggles significantly with any
assignment, please just jot me a note and I will work independently with your
child during our morning routine to clarify or review any concept.
Please nurture responsibility and organization in your child in the following
ways:
• Be sure that your child prints his or her name on each paper and packet.
• See that your child completes all work neatly and in pencil.
• Help your child to return assignments when they are due.
