A homework packet will be given to your child each Monday and is due back on Friday. You will notice that there is an assignment for each night. The work will be completed in their homework notebook. The spelling words for the week will be included and can be practiced along with the "Words to Know" (common words in text/story vocabulary). We work on these lists in class, and your help at home is invaluable in reinforcing these words.
During the school year the homework packet incorporates skill areas of first grade study including word work, writing, grammar and math. Many times the homework will review some of the work that we have been covering in class. It will help if your child has a special place to do his/her work. A shoebox or other container with pencils, crayons, scissors and a glue stick will help with organizational skills. The work should be done neatly. You may have to help with the directions and be sure to give your child encouragement.
Also included in your child's folder will be a monthly reading log. Your child can color one shape on the log each night they have read or are read to and write the title and minutes on the back. Reading is a part of your child's nightly homework. Completed logs can be returned at the end of the month and will be added to the Principal's Reading Club each month.
