Your child will be sent home each night with a take-home binder and a home connection sheet. EVERYTHING required of your child to do at home will have been taught and discussed in class.
It is not my intention to have your child doing schoolwork for hours and if you find that your child is spending more than 30 minutes each night on his or her homework, please reach out to me.
Reading
Reading
Students will be required to read at home for a total of 45 minutes a week.
The breakdown of this is completely up to what works in your house. If it is easiest to read 45 minutes all in one night - so be it! If it works better to read 9 minutes each night on the weekdays only - I call that a success! Anything goes, as long as your child is logging some reading!
Students will be required to take a comprehension test each Thursday over a story we read together through our reading curriculum.
Math
Math
Students will be required to complete two math homework pages a week.
These homework pages will come straight from the workbook that is paired to the textbook, and you can usually expect to see these pages on Tuesday and Thursday. It is important that the students get a bit of extra practice on the math material so they can be prepared for their math tests each Friday. And - this math builds on itself! Your kiddos will be using these math concepts forever!
Phonics
Phonics
Students will be required to practice their UFLI words via a worksheet each week.
There will be a UFLI worksheet sent home with your child as well, typically on Monday and Wednesday. Each worksheet will be double sided with prompts and practice activities students can do alone or with a grown up. The phonics/spelling hybrid test will be on Friday, so practicing those phonics concepts in any capacity a few times a night will be beneficial for your child's success at the end of the week.
