Homework Questions/Updates

Hello families,
We are going full speed this week with homework so please be patient with new routines. Hopefully I have drilled into your child what the expectations are, so try to trust them when they explain their homework. We were a bit rushed today, but they all were able to write in their logs. I just wanted to clarify a few things for you...

1. Yes, the Weekly Reader can count as 15 minutes of reading. (If they read the entire magazine with you/or you hear them reading from afar.)
2. There is a spelling homework page that came home for you to read. They must complete the homework listed on it on the corresponding day. It will also be written on their homework log. This counts as practicing spelling words. Monday's homework was to resort their words. We did this in class today, so it should be review. If they forget, please let me know.
3. There was a math fact packet sent home. This was ripped out of their math book to be used for practice at home. It does not need to be turned in and can be kept at home. Your child can use it for practice until you come up with a system of practicing math facts. They do not need to complete the whole packet this week, they can use it at their own pace.

Please let me know any other homework questions as we ease into things this week. Thank you for your support!
