Homework

This past week I started math homework.  I sent home two math homework papers last week; 4.1 and 4.2.  I will be planning to send home 2-3 math homework pages this week.  Please remember to look for them in the math fliers.  They will be in there along with our quick check (quiz) and common core review paper.  When your child has completed the assignment please remember to send it back to school in their folder.  One of the requirements in 1st grade is to complete and return homework.  Students will be graded on the completion of their homework on their report card.  I will remind them to pass it in, but it is their responsibility to get it from their folder to me.

Also, please remember to practice spelling with your child throughout the week.  We will have a test on Fridays to see if they have mastered their spelling words.  Also, I have started having them write application sentences on the back of their spelling test.  This is to not only see if they can apply their spelling words into sentences, but it is also to see if they are remembering punctuation, capitals, spaces, and neat handwriting.  All of these areas are 1st grade requirements for writing.  My hope is that the rubrics will help you to see what skills your child needs to work on to meet 1st grade standards.

Next week because it is a 2 day week we will not be having spelling!

Also remember it is very important at this point in your child's learning to continue to practice reading at home.
