Nightly Homework
Reading - Building a Community of Readers
25-30 minutes nightly
I encourage you talk about the book with your child. The discussion part is important to building strong comprehension skills. Also, you might learn about themes and character that are resonating with your child, which I find gives me insight on what might be going on in his/her life. There is a link on my website for different types of questions.
Reluctant reader strategies:
Math Homework - typically comes home nightly and we check it the next day.
Friday Homework
Second Steps Home Link Sheet
This covers social/emotional skills we are focusing on in class. The homework is to be done together and turned in on Mondays.
Homework Philosophy
Natural Homework
If students fall behind on schoolwork, depending on circumstances, work will be sent home to be finished.
Targeted Homework
Every now and then I will send individualized homework in order for your child to practice a skill and have extra support.
