Homework News

First of all, thank you so much for making the time to come to conferences. In our busy lives, I appreciate the time to touch base with you! =)

Secondly, you may notice that homework looks different now. We started the year with a lot of review & practice of high frequency words, and now we're starting routine spelling lists. Practicing our words is now part of the homework. The first two nights are working with letter cards to build the words. Wednesday and Thursday are practicing writing the spelling words, and Thursday is a practice spelling test with an adult. We'll have our spelling tests in class on Fridays.

The math looks a little different as well. It's still a page of math per night, but I feel like we're ready for work that is more rigorous. =) Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
