Homework Information

All Word Study and Reading Log entries may be turned into school through the traditional paper method, or submitted by a post on your child's Kidsblog page.  (password: cats)

Feel free to make changes to the homework activities, to meet the needs of your child and your family.

Math homework will be sent home occasionally during the 1st half of the school year.  Look for math games to be played at home.  Math fact practice homework will be sent home starting in January.

Please use the blank paper included in your child’s Come and Go folder every Monday to complete the activities.

The child says each letter or sound as he/she writes it (looking at the list).

Thursday

First Grade  Reading Log

We will use this notebook throughout the year as your  child’s reading log. Every  week, please:

• have your child read to you or read to your child every night for at least 10 minutes.

• list the titles and authors for every book that you read during the week.

• have your child write and draw about one story read during the week.   These written entries should be at least two sentences long.

• return the journals to school on Friday in the Come and Go folder.

Here is an example of what a reading log entry might look like:

A Bargain for Frances by Russell Hoban

Curious  George by Margaret and HA Rey

Me on the  Map by Joan Sweeney

Hop on Pop  by  Dr. Seuss

George and the Newspaper Boats by Margaret and HA Rey

  Curious George is a funny monkey.  He gets into lots of trouble.

Math Homework

As with all other homework, math homework will be sent home on the fist day of the week and is due on Friday of each week.

One of our goals in math for first grade is for students to be able to quickly and accurately solve addition and subtraction equations to 18.
