Homework Is Optional - Please remember that although homework is important, this is first grade! If at any point you feel as if homework is too much, please feel free to let me know and we can adjust. Homework should take around 30 minutes per night. Your child should also be reading at least 20 minutes per day and recording this on their reading calendar. This can be as informal as story before bed or reading to a sibling but they should be spending some time reading aloud.
Math homework will be sent home at the beginning of each topic marked clearly with the date that it is due. Each page of homework should take no more than ten minutes and can be done with parent assistance as needed.
Reading fluency homework will be sent home on Friday and will be due the following Friday.
Optional: We are fortunate to have several excellent programs available to further student learning. Please watch for student usernames and passwords to be sent home. If your child's teacher used Lexia or dreambox last year, their login should be the same as last year.
