Important Info for You!

Homework:  We do not have traditional homework in first grade.  Some schools do, but it was our decision to go homework free this year (well almost homework free). From time to time we will post some activities you can do with your child that will help with their math and reading. Once in awhile, we will have the students write HOMEWORK on their math foldable.  Our goal is for you to work with your child on the problems in the foldable and review the lesson of the day.  We also do not have spelling words to study. Earlier in the year we sent home some "rainbow" words (sight words) for your child to work on at home. Sight words do not follow any spelling pattern usually, so we just work on recognizing them so when we see them in our book we can read them. Reading with your child every night for at least 20 minutes will help with your child's reading skills. As always, please feel free to email me if you have any questions!
