Then initial the worksheet in the upper right hand corner before having your child put it back in the homework folder. Some worksheets are returned the next day and others are returned on Fridays. Unless otherwise stated, return it completed the next day. Mini-books are little decodable paper books that will come home almost every night. Each mini-book needs to be read 2 or 3 times and then added to your home library. DO NOT send the mini books back to school. We have a weekly spelling list that reinforces the spelling rules learned in class. A spelling list will come home on Monday and a spelling test will be given each Friday in class. Please review the words nightly so your child is ready for the test on Friday. When writing assignments come home please help your child with spelling more difficult words but encourage inventive and phonetic spelling for most of their writing. As we learn our spelling rules in class the children will then be expected to spell those words correctly. A Reading Log will come home on Monday and is due Friday. Please read with your child for at least 5-10 minutes every night. *The daily Mini Book counts towards minutes! There is no required reading over the weekend but it is welcomed! The Math Facts program is at your child's pace. Please practice a little every evening and return the facts when they are memorized. I will orally test your child and give the next set when he/she passes. Accelerated Reader envelopes contain books for students to read at home. Please read the book with your child and have him/her complete the information on the ticket prior to returning it to school. Please return it in a timely manner. At least one a week would be great. The PCY Thursday Folder will go home with important papers every Thursday. Please review the papers, sign the folder, and return it EMPTY the next day on Friday. On Fridays your child’s schoolwork from the week will come home. Please review it and keep it at home! |
