I do NOT assign traditional homework.
Each day, your student completes rigorous, individualized, small group, and whole class work in order to make progress on their goals. Because of the challenging work, we don't always have time to read for fun or to complete preferred math activities. I encourage all students to read at home and to apply the math skills they are acquiring in fun ways!
Remember, READING at home can look like:
-Reading by themselves or making up stories based on the pictures
-Reading to a sibling or having a sibling read to them
-Play school by teaching a sibling what they are learning about in class
-Reading with parents or other adults
-Reading any and all kinds of material:
-Magazines, Newspapers, Comic Books, Ads, Announcements, Letters, Cards & More.
-Identifying words they know in the environment around them

iPAD
If students bring their iPads home, they are able to spend time on various apps that will help their progress in the classroom. Their sign in credentials and other login information will be sent home within the first couple of weeks.
