Embedded Files
There will be no additional homework this year. However, students are required to complete their class work in a timely basis (which could run into work that they might need to bring home).
***To keep up with learning, it is suggested that each night your child reads for 20 minutes (of a book or pages of their choice) and studies their weekly Letterland words.
***Sometimes an additional math sheet will also be sent home with the skill(s) we are working on. Your child may complete this, but it is not required and does not need to be turned in unless you'd like me to double check it.
Do you want to do something extra to celebrate your love of learning?
If you are up for the extra challenge, complete the 40 book challenge created by Mrs. Johnson in 2nd grade!
40 Book Challenge
40 Book Challenge
The purpose of this reading challenge is to read 10 books a quarter (9 weeks). Studies show kids that read different kinds of books learn a stronger love of reading and kids that learn to read in turn read more. As a result, kids who read more become stronger readers. Let's work on this together all year!
1. Let your child choose a book from the 40 book Challenge list below, and read it together.
They can read a page, and you read a page. Talk about the book as you read, look at the pictures.
2. Discuss what you like about the book what you didn't like.
3. Record the book on the 40 book Challenge Sheet.
