Homework

   HOMEWORK

Homework is sent home each Friday in a packet. It is to be returned the following Thursday.   Students that are absent on Friday will get an additional day to turn in homework. Usually there is no homework on short school weeks.
         Homework is to be done neatly and only in pencil. Students are to write in manuscript only. A manuscript sample is on the document page. We do not write in cursive in first grade.
         Below are the skills covered throughout the year. They are in document form on the documents page.
