Individualized Homework ` HOMEWORK Individualized Homework Due to the varying levels of each student, at times homework will be individualized in order to meet their specific needs. Homework Planner Your child will be given a planner that is to be used on a daily basis. The purpose is to communicate homework between home & school. A parent signature is required each night.

NIGHTLY HOMEWORK Reading - study vocabulary words and sight words ` NIGHTLY HOMEWORK Reading - study vocabulary words and sight words - read 10-15 minutes Math -addition and subtraction facts -a very short math worksheet will be assigned most nights Monday-Thursday Spelling-A pre-test will be given the first day of each week. Spelling homework is not assigned. I feel as a parent you know how much your child needs to study their spelling words. I will send home spelling practice suggestions at the beginning of the year. Weekends-I TRY not to assign homework over the weekend.

Responsive Classroom A community based approach that emphasizes social, emotional, and academic growth. Announcements I communicate through email. Please make sure your email address is updated through the portal. Promoting Reading Reading should be an everyday occurrence. Incorporate reading into your daily routine. A reading log will be sent home every month. Community Supplies Please help us with the supplies needed for our classroom community. Donations such as tissues , Ziploc baggies and Clorox wipes would be greatly appreciated! Occasionally I will ask for other donations.
