How many days a week should my child be reading?

Your child is required to read five days a week for 20 minutes. 
By the end of the week, your child should read 100 minutes. If 
your child is unable to read one night, that's okay! They can 
make it up by reading longer another night! Encourage your child 
to read on the weekends too!

What should I do if my child is absent?

Make sure that you notify the office, and ask for any work that 
was given that day to be sent home.  Your child can make up the 
work when he/she is feeling better.

What should my child be reading?

Your child should be reading a book that they enjoy and is on 
their level.  Your child should be bringing one book back and 
forth to school.  This way he/she will be reading one book at a 
time.

Should I read with my child every night?

Encourage your child to develop a love for reading! Your child 
may read independently or with a partner (parent, sibling, 
grandparent, etc.). To make reading more fun, try choral reading 
or echo reading.  It is important for children to hear how good 
readers sound when they read.  Try something different each 
night!

How many math facts should my child study each night?

Each week the class will be assigned a fact family to study.  I 
suggest to study 1-3 facts a night.  Once a fact is learned, 
replace it with an unknown fact and continue to review learned 
facts.  Most importantly, make it fun for your child!

How do I know what my child has for homework?

Every day your child will write their homework down in their 
agenda.  Please check the agenda daily to see homework 
assignments and other announcements.

How do I know when my child has a test to study for?

At least one week before there is a test, your child will write 
it into their agenda and bring home a study guide.  Follow the 
study guide to help your child review concepts learned in class.
