Homework

Our philosophy of learning encompasses the idea that practice and patience equal progress.
We also believe that a student is more likely to retain learning by making connections outside the classroom.  Homework consists of a weekly packet containing a writing activity and a math activity that connects concepts being taught in class.  Additionally we ask that you read to your student at least 20 minutes each day.  When the student is ready, books will be sent home for reading practice and can count towards a portion of the reading time.
Current homework
Past homework 2019-20

Spend 20 minutes each night reading. Start by reading your practice book to someone.  Finish by reading or having someone read to you.  Choose a favorite story.

Do one of the pages of homework practice in your communication folder.  It should only take you about 10 minutes.

Writing Rubric

We will be working on starting our writing sentences with an uppercase letter, 

leaving spaces between our words, using lowercase letters appropriately, and ending with a period.  The points awarded for the writing page will  include those aspects of writing.

 

4 = Complete sentence that begins with an uppercase letter, ends with a period, uses lowercase letters, and has appropriate spacing between words.  Accompanying picture shows effort and includes color and details. Name should be on the paper.

 

3 = Missing 1-2 of the traits mentioned above.

 

2 = Missing the illustration or has incomplete sentence.

 

1 = Blank or missing.

Practice hearing rhymes

Hearing the similarities and differences in oral language helps students attach sounds to the written letters. Play this game on the Sesame Street website for practice.

 

 

 

Real-life counting

We will be concentrating on using our counting skills to add, subtract, and form sets in our classroom work. You can reinforce these skills with counting and sorting activities at home. 

 

Suggestions:

     How many red balls are on the Christmas tree? How many silver balls are on the tree? How many red and silver balls all together?

 

     Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Susie and Uncle John plus our family are having dinner together. How many plates do we need?

 

     How many windows are in our house?

 

    How many doors are in our house?

 

     How many steps are in the staircase?

 

     I am making gifts for my friends. My friends are Johnny, Ava, Dennis, Jack, Jill, Spencer, Mitch, and Robert. How many gifts do I need to make? How many are girls? How many are boys?

 

**Look for real life opportunities for them to count around the house and in the family.

 

Help them accurately count to 50 out loud and accurately count up to 20 objects without making mistakes.
