Is homework given every night?

Your son/daughter will have homework from me every night.  It 
will usually consist of spelling, a worksheet and quiet reading
at home. Homework is due the day after it is assigned.

What will happen if my child forgets his/her homework?

It is important to bring your homework to school every day.  In 
the rare occassions that an assignment is not handed in, your
child will lose points. I take 5 points off for all assignments
NEVER handed in and 2 points for late work.

When is the best time to reach me?

The most convenient way to reach me is by email.  I will respond 
as soon as possible. If you need to speak to me, call the school
and leave me a message. I do not have any classes between 9:40am
and 10:00 am so that might be the best time to call. If you
email me that you'll be calling, I'll make sure I do not step out
of my room.

What is quiet reading homework?

It is important that your child reads outside of school.  Reading 
helps a child develop his/her vocabulary and make inferences
about the world. I would like your child to read for about 15
minutes/5 nights a week. It does not have to be a long book.
Magazine articles are a great way to learn about current events.

What is Study Island?

Study Island is a district/state approved website that allows 
children to practice grade level skills while having fun. I will
assign different activities on Study Island on weekends as well
as during class computer time. I usually will give a 2 week time
period for it to be completed. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE
INTERNET AT HOME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
SON/DAUGHTER HAS SOME OPEN CLASS TIME TO WORK ON IT.

When is library?

Library is every other week starting around September 23rd.  We will have Library on every other Friday.  Library books wil be returned to me on the day before library to make book borrowing easier.
