Ways to Help At Home

Helping students to complete their homework each week. There are  3 problems every day, the problems are based on what we learned the week before. 

Students can complete DreamBox at home. Students are expected to complete 5 lessons every week. DreamBox is great because it based on their level of knowledge. 

• DreamBox will start students with something on level and then as the program sees how they are progressing it will give them something easier to build them back up or it will see that they already know it and give them something harder. 

• This is something we want students working on by themselves with no help. If they get help the program will give them harder items that they cannot complete. 

• How does my student log onto DreamBox?

  • Student SSO Page

  • Students will type in their username and password that they use every day in class to log in. (Contact your student's teacher if they need the login.)

  • They will find DreamBox and it will log them right in. 

Practice Math Facts with students. 

• Addition and subtraction from 0-20

• Multiplication facts 0-10

Reading at home with your student is always going to make a big difference! If you wanted to push that reading to have more meaning start asking your student questions while they are reading and/or after they finish can make a big difference! 

• Who is the main character?

• How does the main character change from the beginning of the book to the end? 

• What is the main problem in the story and how does it get resolved? 

• Why do you think the author wrote this book? 

• What is the main idea of this book? How do you know? 

• Can you find and text features in the book? (Nonfiction: Table of Context, Maps, Diagrams, captions, bold words) 

• Your students teacher could provide you with more questions

Every week spelling words are sent home with your student. Try practicing a couple minutes every night

Most days a reading take home activity is sent home. Be on the look out in their send home folder. This will directly connect to what your student did that day.
