đź“ť Homework & Reading Routine
Homework should never mean hours of frustration! If you ever need help setting up a peaceful routine at home, just let me know. Here is what to expect:
Math Apply Book: This workbook stays at home. Your child will just tear out and return that specific lesson’s homework sheet the following day.
Fundations Packets: These are for extra practice at home and do not need to be turned in.
Science & Social Studies: We will have occasional unit tests in these subjects. To give you plenty of time to review together, I will always send a study guide home a full week prior to the test!
Nightly Reading: We encourage 15–20 minutes of reading a night. We want reading to be fun, so anything counts—graphic novels, recipes, magazines, or picture books!
Note on Reading: I don't collect reading logs, but if your child loves tracking their progress, they can write their book titles in the box at the bottom of their planner. Do whatever works best for YOUR family! ❤️
đź“– Planners
In second grade, every student gets their very own planner to track homework and fun school events. Because plans can change, the planner will always have the most up-to-date info (even over the weekly newsletter!).
How we can team up to help them succeed:
Your Child’s Job: To build responsibility, it is your child's job to bring you their planner every single night. You have enough going on—don’t feel like you have to hunt it down! :)
Your Job: Take a quick peek together, check for homework, and initial the designated line.
My Job: Every morning, I’ll check their planners. I’ll give your initials a star, or circle the space if it was missed. If homework is ever missing, I’ll circle it so you and your child know it wasn't turned in.
