Homework Opportunities
Students have 3 homework expectations.
*Read at least 20 minutes per night. The goal for the year is to read 40 books at the student's just right level.
**Study spelling words. The words on the list are the "most used words" in writing. We will study 2 times at school before each test. Students are to study at home until they know all their words. Students have learned a write, cover check method at school. Parents could also give their child a practice test. An entire spelling level has 100 words. Each spelling test is 25 words, therefore, a "set" is 25 words. Set 1 is the first 25 words, set 2 would be the NEXT set of 25 words, etc. After 4 spelling tests have been given, if your child misses five words or less on that level, they will move to the next level of words.
***Spend time on the IXL math site. Great place to practice skills such as telling time, money, geometry, measurement, probability, graphing, and estimating.
