Homework
Reading-The reason for reading homework is to build a love for reading as well as your child’s reading fluency and accuracy. This year, parents and students can choose from a variety of sources such as their library books, books from home, online books, Book Flicks, Tumblebooks, or supplemental reading materials of your choice. We believe by giving your child the choice to select “good fit” reading materials, they will work towards building their confidence in reading.
Math-In participating in math homework, our hope is for each student to feel comfortable with numbers, problem solving, and addition and subtraction facts up to 18. These skills are valuable, because they develop confidence and understanding of mathematics. This knowledge will allow students to feel successful as we build within each math unit. Parents and students can choose to practice math skills through math superstar, addition and subtraction flashcards, online math games, math websites, and phone apps. Again, the goal is for children to gain a love of math through a variety of practices. Bedtime Math link: http://bedtimemath.org/
Additional Homework-In addition to the homework Calendar, your child may also have an occasional worksheet to support our learning in other curricular areas. It may be a math worksheet covering the concept we are working on or a social studies worksheet dealing with the topic. Also during the year we have special projects to complete at home. The children love working on these projects and really enjoy brining them to school to share.
