✍️HOMEWORK✍️

In your student's  gray folder you will see two things that they will need to work on this week.

1.  Reading Log

Please have your student read aloud for at least 20 minutes each day.  You will fill out this reading log each day as you complete your reading.  Students are expected to read for 20 minutes, five times a week, every week, including weeks that are shortened for days off from school.

2.  Math Practice Packet

These packets are the math homework that your student will be expected to complete at home.  They serve as a bridge between their Singapore Math concepts curriculum, and their Rocket Math facts drills.  They contain math facts to practice, and will correspond to math facts were are working on in class. Please complete one page per day.  Small bits of practice everyday are much more effective than large amounts of practice on a few days.  

Reading and math homework is due on Mondays or the first day we return to school after the weekend.

Who Has Seen the Wind?

By Christina Rossetti

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling,

The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I:

But when the trees bow down their heads,

The wind is passing by.
