HomeworkHomework packet sent home on Monday

Math sheets go home nightly, due the next school day after it is assigned. I don’t usually assign Math homework on Fridays (we’ll do it in class if time). This year, only the “Homework” side is required. Your child can do the Remembering side if he/she would like, but most lessons we’ll do it in class or as a station choice.

Independent reading – at least 20 min. each weeknight (100 min. a week) either independently, with/to a family member, or a combo of both. Record on Reading Log.
