Homework

Homework Expectations

It is very important for your child to develop good homework habits at a young age! You can support your child by helping him develop a homework routine.

Homework logs should be kept in the green communication folders that go back and forth to school so that we can check on homework daily.  A new log will come home each week.

Weekly expectations:
·      Read 20 minutes per night, daily
·      Math facts - the goal is to pass one math level per week.  If your child has mastered the math facts through division - she will be taking home a math problem of the week rather than math facts. (if this is the case we will let you know)
·      Work with your word sorts a few times a week  ** if you child has master spelling patterns through 3rd grade, he will be taking home 5 content words to learn to spell.
·      Complete nightly math homework (that comes home in the folder)

You should spend 20 minutes reading and around 15 minutes on other homework each night.
