New Homework Routine for a New Year

Welcome back and Happy New Year!

Starting this week, we will be beginning a new homework to routine to focus on math problem solving and spelling skills, along with some writing and reading. We will be returning to using the homework on the slidedeck that we used in the beginning of the year with a few changes to help make things easier for students to complete their tasks.

First, a homework folder is going home today with blank paper in it for students to complete their homework on. Each week, please have your child complete the homework for the week indicated in the slidedeck. There will be some math problems each week to solve, a writing task, some spelling practice, and a link to a Readworks.org reading task. The readworks task can be completed online.

Finally, I have changed the spelling program to one that includes more opportunities for students to practice word pattern and phonics skills. Students will receive the list each week on Monday, and we will have our quiz on Friday. We will be practicing spelling in class as well as for homework.

If you have any questions about the new homework routine, please let me know, and I will be happy to assist in any way.
