Level 2 Homework:

In Level 2, our homework is on the honor system. We ask families to develop and sustain this important practice at home in a way that works best for you. Having a regular routine (time/place/materials) will ensure that your child will be prepared to tackle their required homework in Level 3 more easily.

Reading: At least 20 minutes reading (outside of school) every day.

The public library is a great resource. Make sure your kiddo has access to lots of “good fit” books that they are excited to read. Check out our Level 2 Book Recommendations HERE.
Read-alouds and audio books work too! Also, listen to your child read out loud, and ask them questions about their reading & thinking.

Typing: We strongly recommend that Level 2 students engage with a typing practice program at home to develop and support important keyboarding skills.

Set your kiddo up with an account at home at: typingclub.com

Math: 15 minutes (or more) of math practice each week day.

If you are able to support your child’s math practice at home, we recommend that students use their Eureka “Apply” math homework workbook with adult supervision. Each week, a suggestion for lessons/pages to work on in the workbook for the following week will be posted on the weekly newsletters page.

The Apply book helps students deepen their understanding of the concepts they learned in class through practice at home. Apply has three parts:

Family Math
The Family Math letters provide a topic overview, images of models and strategies, and key terminology. It also includes ideas for topic-related math activities that may be done at home.
Student Practice
Each Practice is structured as two pages. The front page includes Practice problems that represent learning from class that day. The second page includes Remember problems (to stay sharp with familiar concepts).
Practice Partners
Practice Partners serve as a guide for families who are supporting their student with the Practice and Remember problems at home. These pages illustrate problems like those worked in class and an example of the thinking that helps students solve those problems (in purple text) .

Also strongly recommended:

Daily practice with multiplication facts for 2-10's. Check out these multiplication fact practice apps:

For independent computer practice, you can set up a free account for your child:

Khan Academy: instructional videos and problem solving practice
Prodigy: answer math questions, complete quests, earn rewards
SumDog: solve math problems while playing video games
Math Game Time: no account set-up required, select grade level & play!

Looking for math practice away from devices? You can also add in time with family math games and real-world math activities:

A few Board game examples: Sushi Go Party, Zeus on the Loose, Monster Sock Factory (also see math games handouts from Family Visits)
Budget for grocery shopping/gas/expenses, measure things around the house and calculate for DIY projects, cook to a recipe
