Homework

Hopefully you saw the homework and assignment notebook that was sent home today. Your child should bring home the assignment notebook each night, Monday - Thursday. The assignment notebook should be checked before doing homework each night.

Each night your child should read for at least 20 minutes. They should fill in the reading log after reading.

Each night your child should spend at least 5 minutes studying for the timed math quiz. They should use the triangle flashcards they brought home today.

Each night there will be written homework. Today, the children began to learn about our Weekend Adventures. Every week they will be asked to write a paragraph about something they did that weekend. I will typically send the assignment home on Friday, but it will not be due until Tuesday. Tonight they simply received a graphic organizer. They were asked to add 3 specific details about their topic. The details should match the topic sentence which they already wrote on the top of the page.

We will spend more time developing our writing skills as we work on our paragraphs.
