Homework
Your child will be given the Homework Calendar on the first school day of each month. There is a little ‘job’ to be done each day with a family member that should take ten minutes or less, plus the daily reading together.
The most important thing that you can do to help your child is to read to him/her each day. Children who have had books read to them have a huge advantage in school.
The daily homework items on the calendar are meant to be suggestions. If your child finds the daily work too difficult to do on his/her own, have fun doing it together.
If your child finds today’s work too easy, add to the homework. For example, if you are doing a letter hunt, talk about words beginning with that letter.
Make homework time a happy time! If it is something the child enjoys, the benefits are much greater.

Reading MattersA monthly reading chart will be sent home with your child and also posted on this page. Have your child color in the pictures for every day you read with them. Have them return it at the end of the month for a prize.
In January we will start our Home Reading Program. Your child will come home with 2 books that they will read to you. I highly encourage you to set time aside daily for this! |
