Homework
Weekly Homework
Starting after Labor Day, the students will be introduced to first grade homework. Each week, your child will be given a list of spelling patterns that we will be practicing for the week along with Word Wall Words. Students will not be tested on HOW to spell the words, rather, I will be assessing them on if they are able to READ them. If you are wanting something to further challenge your child at home, a menu of activities will be listed on my website (after Labor Day) to help guide you on skills for your child to practice.
Reading Log
It is an expectation that your child reads 15 minutes, 3-4 nights per week (it will increase over the school year). I am requiring that they read, but I am not requiring a reading log to be completed. The reading log is optional. However, if your child chooses to use a reading log, he can turn it in (completely filled) for Brier Bucks. Once their Reading Log is filled, I will send another home if you and your child choose to fill it out (If your child misplaces theirs, click on the "reading log" button below!). Remember, students HAVE to read, but they are NOT required to keep track of their books on a reading log. I'll be sending a reading log home after Labor Day with each student to be used however you see fit!
