Please work on reading vocabulary words each night. These are commonly used
words that appear over and over again in the books they read in class.
Daily homework may also consist of Math about 4 times a week. Please remember
to send back Math homework the next day.
Weekly homework packet comes home every Friday. Homework packet
is due the following Friday. Please send in the entire packet for grading.
Please have your child practice writing 3 sentences on the same topic, at
home. Please work on starting each sentence with a capital letter and ending
each sentence with the appropriate punctuation mark. It would be good if this
could be done once or twice a week. (EX: Mary likes to play outside. She rides
her bike each day. Mary plays jump rope with her friend.)
