Homework has begun!

Your child should have brought their homework notebook home with them today. It is due back this Friday but we recommend keeping it in their backpack to help ensure it doesn't get left somewhere on that day.

Each night your child should complete the review skill, choice 1 OR choice 2 and then do some reading with you. Reading aside, the work should take no longer than 20 minutes. The work should be completed on the pages behind the homework grid and you can put more than one night on a page to save paper. Until the children get more comfortable in their writing, they may need to dictate some of their ideas to you. But after a week or two, they need to begin doing some or more of the writing.

All the questions from the homework relate to our standards. For example, you will see a question about finding the numbers on the mailbox. This relates to our social studies standard of knowing their "place in space" from continent down to home address. The question about figuring out animals relates to our animal coverings and sorting standard. If you have a questions about anything we ask, please email me. And remember, you have a choice on which task you complete.

I have included a great link in my drop down menu on the BLOG from Scholastic about how to set up great homework habits. Please take a look. And as always, let me know if there is anything you need.

Have fun!
