Parents,
There's been some questions and concerns about homework for our class. I want to clarify what homework consists of so that there's no confusion.
Weekly homework comes home on Friday evenings. It's a single page introducing the story for the following week and the spelling words are listed in the last paragraph. On the other side. there is a description of the 5 assignments that your child can choose from for the week. They are required to do any 3 of the 5. There is also a reading log for Monday-Thursday night for them to record their nightly 20 minutes of reading.
Any additional assignments that you see come home are those that are unfinished in class- these will mainly be math independent practice (can be accessed online at the Pearson website or by him bringing his book home), the math online quizzes (5 questions each day about the topic learned in class) and/or writing assignments.

Your student is supposed to be filling in an agenda on a daily basis- every time we finish a subject during the day- so that they know what assignments need to be finished at home or during our Workshop time on Wed/Thurs. Between time in class and Workshop twice a week, there shouldn't be much beyond the regular assignment coming home each night. I encourage them to work hard in class because I realize that time at home time- when everyone finally gets there each night- is precious. I understand this more now than ever since my daughter started Kindergarten this year and has homework of her own every night.
Hopefully this will clear up any confusion and help your students to continue to be responsible for themselves!
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you!
