Homework

 
Homework
        Your child's daily homework session should look something like this:

*Practice the (pink) Read Well page 3-5 times
*Practice the Fry target words

*Read the "Buddy Book" throughout the week.  Fill out the progress form after Thursday's homework session. "Buddy Books" need to be returned to school on Friday.

*Students participating in the Accelerated Reader program may read at their own pace.  They should, however, take a minimum of one test weekly.

*Math Homework or play a Math Game
Homework Tip
    The entire homework session should not last longer than 25-35 minutes.  It should be fun and stress-free.  It shouldn't be a struggle.  Mix the routine up or break the tasks up into smaller segments.  (Try 10 minutes after school; 10 minutes after dinner; 10 minutes before bedtime or breakfast.)  Make some of the activities into games.  Put words on the bathroom mirror and read them before brushing.  Put words on the refrigerator and read them before snack time.  Tape words to the head of the bed and read them before bedtime.  Be creative!  Let me know if you come up with something motivating or fun.  Perhaps we can add it to our website. Hooray!

    Thank you, parents, for all of your help and support.  You are your child's first and best teacher.  You are an essential part of your child's educational team!  We appreciate you!
