If you lose the homework download above!
While homework is optional, I do find that most students like to do the calendar work!
Homework consists of a monthly calendar of activities and nightly writing. Students will be sent home with a nightly writing notebook. Students should write (if possible) or draw at least twice a week. We will share his/her nightly writing throughout the week. Families have anytime during the week to work on the activities. Homework calendars are due at the end of the month. Homework will start coming home in September.
•By reading to your child at home you will be helping him/her:
•Learn to appreciate and enjoy reading.
•Expand concepts and knowledge.
•Increase vocabulary and language development.
•Develop an ear for language and grammar.
•Develop auditory and listening skills.
•Lay a solid foundation for the time when they begin reading on their own.
Here are a few pointers about your reading time:
•Always make reading session pleasurable.
•At times, discuss what you’ve read but don’t make it a question and answer session. Ask a question such as “What did you like about the story?” This is a quick check for comprehension.
•Pick some non-fiction books – sometimes the most difficult child to sit down and read with will respond to a book about dinosaurs, extreme sports, comic books, etc. Reading is reading.
