| Here are some of the HOMEWORK activities we have throughout the year. As you
can see they are gradually introduced beginning in September through November.
"Club Words" - (Starting early September) These are high frequency/sight word
lists that your child should work on each week. These come over every
Tuesday. Your child will be assessed each Tuesday and need to have total
mastery (100%) in order to move to the next list These words are for READING
ONLY.
Reading Club - (Starting late September/early October) Organized by our
wonderful P.T.O., this program encourages kids to read books "at their level"
at home for "points and prizes". The kids seem motivated and are doing a
great job bringing their bags back each day. I will be sending any "full
blue sheets" that I receive to our Reading Club Mom, every Friday. Kids will
receive prizes through our WEE DEVIVER Post Office every week from our
Reading Club mom.
Writer's Tool Bags - Beginning in early October. Our Class Calendar will
always indicate the two students who take them home each Thursday. Remember
they should be returned every Wednesday. Look below for the first two round
of rotations of the bags so you can see when your child will be taking one
of them home.
Flashcard Contracts (This will begin in late October/Early November.) We'll
start with addition first and add subtraction flashcards in January. You'll
receive 20 flashcards this week and then 20 more to add to your child's set
next week. You should practice the flashcards 3 times a week for a minimum
of 3-5 minutes each time. Have your child fill out the contract that goes
home each Monday and return it by Friday or the following Monday. Practicing
addition facts will help your child increase their "quick recall" of the
facts 0 through 10.
Math Homework - Small "half sheets" will come home from time to time that
coordinate with "Take Home Math Books" and End of the month Calendar sheets.
