Homework Policy
Homework folders should travel back and forth EVERY DAY with the First Graders.
Homework will usually be assigned Mondays through Thursdays. Homework will go home in the students' homework folder. Because the assignment is usually a reinforcement of what we have worked on in class each day, I do not send home assignments ahead of time.
Homework should be returned the day after it is assigned. I understand that sometimes your schedules make it hard to oversee your child’s homework on some evenings. If that is the case, send in the completed homework as soon as possible. Remember that part of the reason for homework is to start good work habits in the children.
Please make sure your child understands the directions for the assignments. They will probably need you to read them at the beginning of the year.
In addition to the assigned homework, the students should be reading at least 15 to 20 minutes per day. Mrs. Harvey sends a reading log home with the children every month on which to record the books read and minutes spent. Please take advantage of this program.
