Homework
Students will be assigned homework on a nightly basis. They will write it down in their reminder binders before going home each day.
Your child should be spending approximately 45 to 50 minutes a night on homework, Monday-Thursday, as required by the school district. It will be evaluated on your child’s report card.
Please make sure to check and initial your child’s reminder binders each night and look for any important information I have listed on it for the week.
Homework consists of: Reading for 20 minutes, Math, and a language arts activity nightly. Some nights will have a social studies or science activity. Study spelling words for test on Thursday.
Homework is checked and collected the next day,
otherwise noted.
• Under Repeated Reading, students are to read the passage from their Reading Homework Packet three times a week (or more) to practice fluency.
• Under the Independent Reading, the student is to choose three (3) different activities during the week. I am looking for a parent initial in three of those boxes to verify this activity has been completed.
• Under Making “Tracks,” your child will need to make at least one (1) in the passage for the week.
• Finally, in the Comprehension Check, the tasks will vary from week to week.
