Student Homework Journal -
A Letter to the Parents……………..
Dear Parents,
This is your child’s homework binder/folder. The homework assigned is designed to spiral back through the curriculum so students are always practicing their skills. During the first few weeks of school we will train the students in the homework spiral and assist them in these tasks. We expect the students to do their homework to the best of their abilities BY THEMSELVES. This will be a difficult challenge at first, but will become easier and easier as the year progresses. Students should not get upset if the work seems difficult at first, and should make their best attempt on the tasks. We need to see their thinking and mistakes to better know how to teach them. We consistently check for homework completion and accuracy every day. So your child must have their binder with completed daily homework each day. Your child should never have more than 30 minutes of homework per night.
The homework is as follows:
Math - Monday- Fact Practice
Tuesday and Thursday- Math work page
Wednesday- Frontrowed.com
Reading – read a choice of article, passage, book, poem, etc) and complete a text based question Mon-Thurs. (15 minutes) Answers to this homework are worth up to 4 points each and will count towards their reading ribbon. Students must accumulate 96-128 points to qualify for the reading ribbon. Please review the Curriculum Night PowerPoint to see how they can achieve this.
Periodically, a project based activity will be required and will replace regular daily homework for that time frame.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding homework, please email your child’s teacher at her school email.
