Homework
Homework will be given every night except for the weekends.
The homework assignments reinforce skills taught in the class and inform parents of what we are teaching. Please help your child complete and/or correct any work he or she brings home. The work does not need to be returned to school if it meets your expectations. First graders are expected to read with a parent 15 minutes a night four times a week Spelling homework begins in the middle of September. We will add dictation sentences to the spelling list at the beginning of the second semester. As the year goes on, please practice addition and subtraction facts to eighteen.
First graders will complete two projects during the year for Young Author's Night. Instructions and packets will be sent home to be completed with help from the parents. A final copy will be done in the classroom. Ample time will be given to complete these projects.
Missing Assignments
Any work not completed in the classroom will be sent home to be finished.
Planners
First graders do not have planners.
