HOMEWORK
Homework Packets go home every Thursday and are due back the following Wednesday morning.
Includes 3-4 Math pages, reading log based on the reading skill of the week, 3 spelling practice pages, and any other information/study guides.
Students are expected to read at least 10 minutes at home five days+ each week…the more the better. Reading out loud is the best way for them to practice fluency! Reading with your children is the best tool you can give them!
Cover that includes weekly announcements, reminders, and upcoming tests.
Please help your child as needed, check their work, and sign the packet every week.
Email me anytime with questions or concerns!
