Homework Assignment Sheets At the beginning of each week, first graders receive a list of open-ended activities. Please have your child do at least 4 activities per week, from any of the subject areas. Parents can choose the activities that are appropriate for their child. The homework should be turned in by Friday of that week.

Homework will be checked to see if it is complete, correct, and neat minutes should be spent on homework a night. Reading 5-10 minutes a night is required. A monthly reading log will be attached to the homework.
