Homework

In first grade, it is expected that your child will have between 10-20 minutes of homework Monday - Thursday evenings. In addition to bringing home their blue cougar folder each night, your child will bring home a red homework folder and their reading baggie. They will also bring home a yellow fluency folder on Wednesday nights.

Each night, your child should read through the books in their book baggie and practice their memory words.

In addition, your child will have the following assignments:
Monday - Comprehension (Your child will have to read a short story and answer a few questions. For fluency practice, your child should reread the story each night. The final assignment will be due on Friday of each week.)
Tuesday - Math (Your child will bring home math to practice that matches the days objective or reinforces previously taught skills.)
Wednesday - Fluency (Your child will bring home a poem that we have been practicing reading as a class. Your child should read it to you and complete the word study activity on the back.)
Thursday - Math (Your child will bring home math to practice that matches the days objective or reinforces previously taught skills.)

While I do not assign written homework on Friday evenings, I ask all students to take home their reading baggie each weekend and try to find a few minutes to read.

Thank you for your support in reinforcing skills at home.
