Each Monday, your child will bring home one math worksheet and one reading assignment. These activities will provide extra practice with skills we have already learned in class. Please help your child complete the assignments and return them by the end of the week. Completing homework on time helps build responsibility while reinforcing the foundational skills we are learning in first grade.

In addition to our weekly homework assignments, here are some simple ways you can support your child's learning at home. These everyday activities can make a big difference in your first grader's growth and confidence!

• Read for at least 20 minutes each day. If 20 minutes feels like too much at first, start with shorter reading sessions and gradually build your child's reading stamina.

• Have your child read aloud to improve fluency, accuracy, and confidence.

• Practice writing by having your child help write grocery lists, notes, or simple messages.

• Review addition and subtraction facts through 20 using flashcards.

• Encourage independence by practicing everyday life skills, such as:

  • Tying shoes

  • Zipping and buttoning coats

  • Packing and unpacking their backpack

  • Recognizing and keeping track of their own belongings

Thank you for partnering with us to help your child have a successful and exciting first-grade year!
