You will find a monthly homework calendar in your child's folder on the first day of school. The calendar will consist of various activities your child should complete Monday-Thursday evenings. Please initial each box as your child completes an activity. I will check the calendar each Friday, and if 3 or more boxes are initialed (weekly), your child will receive a reward. Please help your child develop good study habits by completing the activities. They will be a review of what we are currently working on in class. In addition to the homework calendar, your child will also be responsible for reading nightly for 15 minutes. At first, you will probably be doing most the reading for them, but as the year progresses, please encourage them to identify letters, sight words, etc. Little by little, they will become independent readers!!
