Please check your child's Agenda Book each night to see what assignments are due. We copy down our homework as soon as they arrive at school each day. Please initial each night that you've seen their assignments and assignment book. The Agenda Book is a good way for open communication between us. I will often write notes there if your child hasn't completed an assignment. If we work as a team, your child/ren will benefit.
In addition to the work that is in their Agenda Book, I'd like your child to be reading a minimum of 15-25 minutes per night 3-4 times a week. The more they read, the more they will enjoy reading. Ask your child about the book...characters, setting, problems, and solutions. Most importantly, let them see YOU read. You could even choose to read the same book and talk about it together after each night.
They will have a spelling list and vocabulary list most weeks. They will also have math homework, whether it is a worksheet 2-3 days a week or working on iReady My Path.
