September 15 - 18th
Events/Announcements:
- No School 19, and 30th
Homework:
Homework will consist primarily of reading, spelling, and basic facts. Students are expected to read at home daily for 30 minutes. There will usually be a spelling quiz at the end of the week. Spelling lists will be given at the beginning of the week. In addition, students will be given math multiplication/division basic fact sheets to practice. Your child's basic fact sheets will be sent home in a duo-tang. Students will be expected to complete one fact page a night. The duo-tangs do not need to be sent back every day and can be checked by parents at home. If parents prefer, they can send the work back to be checked by their teacher after all pages have been completed. Any other homework will be communicated via email.
- Multiplication booklet: - We will work on the first few pages together in class for the first week and then we will send home the Multiplication practice home for homework. Students are expected to complete 1 page per night. We understand that students have busy schedules so they can complete more pages one night and take a break other nights, but strive to complete 7 pages for the week.
